Relates energy at two points for viscous, incompressible flow in a pipe, with accounting for additional energy addition / extraction

Energy Principle

• So far, mechanical forces on a fluid

– Pressure

– Gravity

– Shear Stress

• Considering Energy, we can solve:

– Power required to move fluids

– Effects of pipe friction

– Flow rates of fluids moving through pipes & orifices

– Effects of obstacles, bends, and valves on flow

First Law of Thermodynamics

E

W

E = energy of a system

Q = heat transferred to a system in a given time t

W = work done by the system on its surroundings during the same time

• Energy forms:

Kinetic and Potential energy of a system as a whole and energy associated with motion of the molecules

( atomic structure, chemical energy, electrical energy )

Flow Work

Flow Work : Work done by pressure forces as the system moves through space

Shaft Work

( any work not associated with a pressure force!

)

• Work done on flow by a pump

– increases the energy of the system, thus the work is negative

• Work done by flow on a turbine

– decreases the energy of the system, thus the work is positive

Reynolds Transport Theorem : Simplified form

If the flow crossing the control surface occurs through a number of inlet and outlet ports, and the velocity v is uniformly distributed (constant) across each port; then

Steady-Flow Energy Equation

.

Q = rate of heat transfer TO the system (input)

.

W = rate of work transfer FROM the system (output)

.

m = rate of mass flow h = specific enthalpy (h = u + p/ ρ)

Example 7.2:

If the pipe is 20cm and the rate of flow 0.06m

Let’s relate “head” to “power & efficiency”

Pump power:

Both pump & turbine lose energy due to friction which is accounted for by the “ efficiency ” defined as the ratio of power output to power input.
