Loss of head due to sudden enlargement Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Loss of Head = ((Velocity of Liquid Inlet-Velocity of Liquid Outlet)^2)/(2*9.81)
h_L = ((V_i-V_o)^2)/(2*9.81)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Loss of Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of head due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section.
Velocity of Liquid Inlet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of liquid inlet is considered on flow through an external cylindrical mouthpiece.
Velocity of Liquid Outlet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of liquid outlet is considered on flow through an external cylindrical mouthpiece.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Liquid Inlet: 8.2 Meter per Second --> 8.2 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Liquid Outlet: 5.5 Meter per Second --> 5.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_L = ((V_i-V_o)^2)/(2*9.81) --> ((8.2-5.5)^2)/(2*9.81)

Evaluating ... ...

h_L = 0.371559633027523

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.371559633027523 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.371559633027523 ≈ 0.37156 Meter <-- Loss of Head

What is mouthpiece?

A mouthpiece is a short tube of length not more than two to three times its diameter, which is. fitted to a tank for measuring the discharge of the flow from the tank. By fitting the mouthpiece, the. discharge through an orifice of the tank can be increased.

What is an external cylindrical mouthpiece

The mouthpiece is an attachment in the form of a small tube fixed to an orifice. When the tube is fixed externally, it is known as an external mouthpiece. Depending on the shape, a mouthpiece can be cylindrical, convergent, divergent, convergent-divergent, or of any other form.
