Uncertainty of pipe flow friction factor equations

Numerical Studies of Unsteady Friction in Transient Pipe Flow

In this thesis, unsteady friction in transient pipe flow is given a closer look. The common quasi-steady friction model and two one-dimensional convolution-based models, developed by Zarzycki and Vardy & Brown, are considered. A quasi-two-dimensional approach to the water hammer problem is also derived, where the pipe friction is related to the near-wall behavior of the velocity profile. The mo...

Turbulence Intensity and the Friction Factor for Smooth- and Rough-Wall Pipe Flow

Abstract: Turbulence intensity profiles are compared for smoothand rough-wall pipe flow measurements made in the Princeton Superpipe. The profile development in the transition from hydraulically smooth to fully rough flow displays a propagating sequence from the pipe wall towards the pipe axis. The scaling of turbulence intensity with Reynolds number shows that the smoothand rough-wall level de...

An Experimental Correlation for Friction Factor in Horizontal Pipe with Trapezoidal Section Inner Longitudinal Slots for Conveying of Solids

In order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. The test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. Through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and Froude number is presented. It is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inn...

Uncertainty Reduction of Metering System in Kharg Island Oil Terminal by Adjusting Pipe Line Volume Flow rate

determination of flow stress and friction factor of aluminum 7075 by inverse analysis

in all engineering applications where solid surfaces slide on each other, friction plays an important role. it becomes even more important, particularly in metal forming processes where the two sliding materials are metallic. among forming processes, forging is an important process, because of improving material structure, mechanical properties and reducing production time. an inverse analysis ...
