Calculating Frictional Pressure Drop in Pipelines
Goutam Das
-Retired Mechanical Engineer -Strong in Mathematics -Long practical experience -Worked mainly in Power...
Introduction
Very frequently, we need to calculate frictional pressure drops in pipelines. Many of us may have domestic pumps in our households. After we estimate the pump flow from expected consumption of water, we need to calculate the pump head for purchasing a suitable pump. The following is an example of calculation of pressure drop when the flow and pipe geomerty is known.
Input Data(assumed)
1. Pipe flow -10 m3/h
2. Fluid-Water at 250C.
3. Pipe material-commercial galvanised carbon steel (absolute roughness ε=0.15 mm)
4.. Flow geometry as below(total pipe length L=20 m).
h1=3m
h2=12m
Calculation
Step-1 Calculation of flow velocity
From pipe dimension table for 25mm NB std thickness pipe
OD (D)=33.4 mm
Thickness (t)=3.38 mm
Hence ID(d)=D-2t=33.4-2x3.38=26.64 mm=0.02664 m
Pipe flow area (A)=(π/4)d2= (π/4)x0.026642=0.000557 m2
Pipe flow (Q)=10 m3/h=10/3600=0.00278 m3/s
Hence pipe flow velocity(V)=Q/A=0.00278/0.000557=4.98 m/s
Step-2 Calculation of Darcy's Friction Factor(f)
Kinematic viscosity of water(ν)=8.92x10-7 m2/s
Reynold's number (Re)=Vd/ν=4.98x0.02664/8.92x10-7=1.9x105
Re>2000 hence flow is turbulent
For determining f we use Moody's chart s below:
We noe find f from Re and ε/d as follows
Hence f=0.031
Step 3 Calculation Pipe Friction Drop
Total pipe length L=20 m
Minor losses
Minor losses are calculated by K factors. Different K factors are available in the internet(refer Crane Technical Paper 410)
a) Inlet loss-K1=1
b) Foot valve with strainer-pressure drop Δpf1=0.1 bar(assumed)=1x104 Pa
c) Elbows 900 -3 Nos, K2=3x30f=3x30x0.031=2.79
d) Gate valve -2 nos, K3=2x8f=2x8x0.031=0.496
e) Exit loss, K4=1
Total head drop
hf= (fL/D+K1+K2+K3+K4)V2/2g+ Δpf1/ρg (Note :ρ=density=1000 kg/m3)
=(0.031x20/0.02664+1+2.79+0.496+1)(4.982/2x9.81)+1x104/(1000x9.81)
=37.12 mwc
Step 4 Calculation of Pump Head
In addition to frictional head loss we have static head increase
Pump head (H)=(h1+h2)+hf= 3+12+37.12
H=52.12 mwc
We normally take some margin (say 15 %)for future increase in pipe friction drop due to ageing and calculation uncertainties.
So
H=52.12x1,15=60 mwc
Pump details, 10 m3/h flow, 60 mwc head.

The present-day computer has evolved through several stages. The roots of the evolution are spread evenly in the prehistoric periods when the ancient man started to settle down in dwelling centres. In this period he started cultivation and other productive engagements. He faced the need for counting his products at this stage. In the early stages, he used his fingers for counting purposes. This was the reason for the establishment of a counting system based on the number ten, which is considered to be the most ancient system.
The earliest counting machine, invented by man was a primitive one called ABACUS. It was developed by Chinese nearly 3000 years ago, the Abacus is known as 'Swan Pan' in China. This model is considered to be the best one among other Abacus models used in other countries.
Abacus consists of a rectangular wooden frame with horizontal rods. These rods carry round beads. These beads are made out of stones, pearls, wooden blocks. Counting is done by shifting the beads from one side of the Abacus to another. One bead on a particular wire has the value of 1; two together have the value of 2. A bead on the on next line has the value of 10, and the bead on the third line would have the value of 100. Therefore, three properly placed beads - two with values of 1 and one with the value of 10 - could signify 12, and the addition of a fourth bead with the value of 100 could signify 112. Thus, the Abacus works on the principle of a place-value notation. The Abacus can be cleared or set to zero by moving all beads away from the crossbar.
John Napier was one of the earliest scientists who tried to invent some devices for calculations. He was A Scottish mathematician. Napier devised a set of rods for use in calculations involving multiplications. These rods were made from bones, and hence this device came to be known as NAPIER BONES. Napier introduced the use of notation to indicate a fractional position.
The invention of odometer which -is now known as speedometer initiated the development of mechanical adders and multipliers. It was John Napier who developed the method of logarithm in 1617. The tables used in the logarithm represent analogue computing techniques. In logarithm multiplications and divisions can be done by adding and subtracting not the numbers themselves but with the help of related numbers.
The credit for the invention of the first mechanical calculating machine goes to Blaise Pascal. He was a French Mathematician and Physicist, born on June 19, 1623, at Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne. From the very childhood, Pascal was very much interested in the study of mathematics. When he was only sixteen Pascal published a book on the geometry of the conic sections that for the first time carried the subject well beyond the point at which Apollonius has left it nearly nineteen centuries before.
In 1642, when Blaise Pascal was only nineteen, he invented the calculating machine called Pascaline, using cogged wheels, could add and subtract. It is considered as the ancestor of the mechanical devices that reached their culmination in the modern cash register.
Blaise Pascal invented the calculating machine only to assist his father in tax calculations. His father was appointed as the Tax Superintendent of Royen.
The calculating machine invented by Pascal consisted of gears, wheels and dials. Each wheel had ten segments, which can be compared to the wheel of a milometer. When one wheel completed 0 to 9 around their circumference, with this calculator addition and subtraction could be performed by dialling the series of wheels. He also invented the syringe, the hydraulic press, and Pascal's law of pressure. The basic principle of his calculator is still used today in water meters and modern-day odometers.
Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician, born on July 1, 1646, at Leipzig, Saxony. He devised a calculating machine superior to that of Pascal. Leibniz modified the mechanical calculator invented by Pascal and perfected it to a certain context. The modified machine could multiply and divide as well as add and subtract. Leibniz was the first to recognize the importance of the binary system of notation, making the use of 1 and 0 only. This is important in connection with modern computers.
He was a stonemason and later a weaver. He created the Punched Card Loom in 1801. This device was a new type of loom for weaving cloth—punched cards controlled its operation. Needles could pull threads through cards where there were holes and not where there were none. Thus patterns were stored on punched cards. It was adopted by Charles Babbage to control his Analytical Engine.
He was an English mathematician born on December 26, 1791. He conceived of a machine that could be directed to work using punched cards, that could store partial answers to be performed upon them later, and that could print the results. Babbage developed a machine which he called the 'DIFFERENCE ENGINE'. This machine worked on a mathematical technique which repeatedly added differences between numbers to perform various types of calculations. Charles Babbage made only a working model of the difference engine. He did not make a full-scale difference engine because the necessary technology needed for its completion was not available at that time.
Later on, he was able to develop another device called the 'ANALYTICAL ENGINE'. This was an automatic computing machine designed to make additions at the rate of sixty per minute. It had memory also. Babbage has introduced an input device also which was nothing but a collection of punched cards. He also introduced a control unit whose function would be to control the various operations of the engine. In short, the analytical engine was indeed a marvellous blueprint of a modern computer.
Two Swedish printers, George Scheutz and his son Edward attracted towards the difference engine, and they were successful in making the first difference engine which became very popular among scientists as well as common people. Subsequently, they build several different engines. They got a Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855 as the makers of the difference engine.
He built few difference engines in 1890 for use in the mathematical calculations of the census conducted there. These engines were proved to be highly efficient, and subsequently, several different engines were in use in the different parts of the world.
The success story of his machine encouraged Hollerith to start the 'Tabulation Machine Company' in 1896. Later in 1911, this company became the 'Computing Tabulating Recording Company' This company is now known as the 'International Business Machines' - IBM Company.

BASIC PRINCIPLES IN SURVEYING
PRINCIPLE OF WORKING FROM WHOLE TO PART
Surveying is based on simple fundamental principles which should be taken into consideration to enable one get good results:
(a) Working from the whole to the part is achieved by covering the area to be surveyed with a number of spaced out control point called primary control points called primary control points whose pointing have been determined with a high level of precision using sophisticated equipments. Based on these points as theoretic, a number of large triangles are drawn. Secondary control points are then established to fill the gaps with lesser precision than the primary control points. At a more detailed and less precise level, tertiary control points at closer intervals are finally established to fill in the smaller gaps. The main purpose of surveying from the whole to the part is to localize the errors as working the other way round would magnify the errors and introduce distortions in the survey. In partial terms, this principle involve covering the area to be surveyed with large triangles. These are further divided into smaller triangles and the process continues until the area has been sufficiently covered with small triangles to a level that allows detailed surveys to be made in a local level. Error is in the whole operation as the vertices of the large triangles are fixed using higher precision instruments.
(b) Using measurements from two control parts to fix other points. Given two points whose length and bearings have been accurately determined, a line can be drawn to join them hence surveying has control reference points. The locations of various other points and the lines joining them can be fixed by measurements made from these two points and the lines joining them.
IMPORTANCE OF SCIENTIFIC HONESTY
CHECK ON MEASUREMENTS
ACCURACY AND PRECISION
These terms are used frequently in engineering surveying both by manufacturers when quoting specifications for their equipments and on site by surveyors to describe results obtained from field work.
Horizontal Distance Measurement
One of the basic measurements in surveying is the determination of the distance between two points on the earth’s surface for use in fixing position, set out and in scaling. Usually spatial distance is measured. In plane surveying, the distances measured are reduced to their equivalent horizontal distance either by the procedures used to make the measurement or by applying numerical corrections for the slope distance (spatial distance). The method to be employed in measuring distance depends on the required accuracy of the measurement, and this in turn depends on purpose for which the measurement is intended
Pacing: where approximate results are satisfactory, distance can be obtained by pacing (the number of paces can be counted by tally or pedometer registry attached to one leg). Average pace length has to be known by pacing a known distance several times and taking the average. It is used in reconnaissance surveys& in small scale mapping.
Odometer of a vehicle: Based on diameter of tires (no of revolutions X wheel diameter); this method gives a fairly reliable result provided a check is done periodically on a known length. During each measurement a constant tyre pressure has to be maintained.
Tachometry: -Distance can be can be measured indirectly by optical surveying instruments like theodolite. The method is quite rapid and sufficiently accurate for many types of surveying operations.
Taping (chaining): - This method involves direct measurement of distances with a tape or chain. Steel tapes are most commonly used .It is available in lengths varying from 15m to 100m. Formerly on surveys of ordinary precision, lengths of lines were measured with chains.
Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM): - are indirect distance measuring instruments that work using the invariant velocity of light or electromagnetic waves in vacuum. They have high degree of accuracy and are effectively used for long distances for modern surveying operations.
