Power Required to Maintain Turbulent Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power = Density of Fluid*[g]*Discharge*Head Loss Due to Friction
P = ρ_f*[g]*Q*h_f
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Power - (Measured in Watt) - Power is the amount of energy liberated per second in a device.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the volume of fluid that passes through a given cross-sectional area of the turbine per unit of time.
Head Loss Due to Friction - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density of Fluid: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

What is turbulent flow?

The turbulence or turbulent flow is fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity. It is in contrast to a laminar flow, which occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between those layers.

What is the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow?

Laminar flow or streamline flow in pipes (or tubes) occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. Turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic property changes. This includes a rapid variation of pressure and flows velocity in space and time.
