Pressure loss due to friction

Within low-pressure operating ranges, the slight pressure loss due to friction in vapor pipes may mean an appreciable loss of total available temperature difference. 

APs = pressure loss due to friction in unit length of the pipe for solvent alone APa = pressure loss due to friction in unit length of the pipe for the solution containing the additive... 

Step 1. For pressure loss due to friction, first determine the homogeneous flow liquid ratio X, volume of liquid per volume of mixed fluid flow. 

Here A/jf is the head loss due to friction and is directly related to the pressure loss due to friction A/ f by A/ f = pgAhf. 

Pressure drop through the RO system can also be used as an indicator of when it is time to clean membranes. Pressure drop is a direct measure of the pressure loss due to friction caused by scale or foulants on the membrane or the feed spacer. 

The ineversible pressure loss due to frictional effects and the required pumping power to overcome this loss for a volume flow rale of 1/are... 

The many pharmaceutical processes that involve the transfer of a liquid confer great importance on the study of flow in pipes. This study permits the evaluation of pressure loss due to friction in a simple pipe... 

It is the object o his invention to transport CO2 to the surface in a single, supercritical pha.se. Thi.s accomplished by positioning a pump within a producing well to boost the pressure to the critical pressure. The pump must account for the amount of CO2 pressure lost due to static head and the pressure loss due to friction in flowing the CO2 to the surface. 

Which of the two rivers should serve as the source for the fountain To avoid the use of pumps, the Prince s architect, Le Notre, built a reservoir upstream at an elevation sufficient to project the water and to compensate for the pressure loss due to friction. If the friction loss equals 50% of the total head required, at what elevation should the reservoir be built ... 

Example 10-6 A fire truck (see Figure 10-8) pumps water to the third fioor (25 ft from ground level) of a building. Water for the pump is in an open tank on the ground. The flow rate at the nozzle must be 50 gal./min. The nozzle has a 2 in. diameter opening. The pressure loss due to friction in the hose between the pump and the nozzle is equivalent to 3 ft of water. What pressure must the pump produce Assume that a gallon of water occupies 0.1337 ft. ... 

For heated horizontal channels, Martinelli and Nelson (1948) assumed the total pressure loss is given by the sum of a pressure loss due to friction and a pressure loss due to increased fluid momentum as vaporization occurs. The local two-phase friction pressure gradients in boiling water were calculated using isothermal flow pressure loss data assuming turbulent-turbulent flow. 

This is referred to as Fanning s formula. The unit of measurement for Ff is [J/kg]. The pressure loss due to friction APf is then given by... 

The COAST computer program is used to calculate the reactor coolant flow coast down transient for any combination of active and inactive pumps and forward or reverse flow in the hot or cold legs. The equations of conservation of momentum are written for each of the flow paths of the COAST model assuming unsteady one-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid. The equation of conservation of mass is written for the appropriate nodal points. Pressure losses due to friction, and geometric losses are assumed proportional to the flow velocity squared. Pump dynamics are modelled using a head-flow curve for a pump at fiill speed and using four-quadrant curves, which are parametric diagrams of pump head and torque on coordinates of speed versus flow, for a pump at other than full speed.
