Loss of head due to sudden enlargement at any particular section of pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Loss of Head Sudden Enlargement = ((Velocity of Fluid at Section 1-Velocity of Fluid at Section 2)^2)/(2*[g])
h_e = ((V₁'-V₂')^2)/(2*[g])
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Loss of Head Sudden Enlargement - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of Head Sudden Enlargement is the energy loss caused due to the sudden enlargement in flow through pipes.
Velocity of Fluid at Section 1 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of fluid at section 1 is the flow velocity of the liquid flowing in a pipe at a particular section considered as section 1.
Velocity of Fluid at Section 2 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of fluid at section 2 is the flow velocity of the liquid flowing in a pipe at a particular section considered as section 2.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Fluid at Section 1: 4.18 Meter per Second --> 4.18 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Fluid at Section 2: 2.89 Meter per Second --> 2.89 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_e = ((V₁'-V₂')^2)/(2*[g]) --> ((4.18-2.89)^2)/(2*[g])

Evaluating ... ...

h_e = 0.0848454875008285

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0848454875008285 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0848454875008285 ≈ 0.084845 Meter <-- Loss of Head Sudden Enlargement

Loss of Head Sudden Enlargement = ((Velocity of Fluid at Section 1-Velocity of Fluid at Section 2)^2)/(2*[g])
h_e = ((V₁'-V₂')^2)/(2*[g])

What is the effect if the cross section of the pipe suddenly enlarges?

Due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section. The formation of eddies causes loss of energy in form of heat to the surrounding.

How eddies are formed?

The eddies are formed only when the flow around the obstacle reaches a critical velocity. An eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created.
