Loss of Head at Entrance of Pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head Loss at Pipe Entrance = 0.5*(Flow Velocity through Pipe^2)/(2*[g])
h_i = 0.5*(V_f^2)/(2*[g])
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Head Loss at Pipe Entrance - (Measured in Meter) - Head loss at pipe entrance is the head loss of the liquid that occurs at the entrance of the pipe when it flows into the pipe.
Flow Velocity through Pipe - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity through Pipe is the velocity of the flow of any fluid from the pipe.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Velocity through Pipe: 12.5 Meter per Second --> 12.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_i = 0.5*(V_f^2)/(2*[g]) --> 0.5*(12.5^2)/(2*[g])

Head Loss at Pipe Entrance = 0.5*(Flow Velocity through Pipe^2)/(2*[g])
h_i = 0.5*(V_f^2)/(2*[g])

What is entrance loss?

The entrance loss is the head loss that occurs when a liquid flows from a large tank into a pipe. At the entrance to the pipe, the liquid must accelerate from zero velocity at the liquid surface in the tank to the velocity corresponding to the flow rate through the pipe.

What are the reason for minor head losses in pipe?

Major losses occur due to the friction effect between the moving fluid and the walls of the pipe. The minor losses occur due to any disturbance that might occur to the flow, which is mainly caused by the installed fittings on the pipeline.
