  • Using the Friction Factor in Calculating Frictional Head Loss in Pipes

    The Darcy-Wiesbach Equation is an empirical relationship between frictional head loss and several other pipe flow parameters. This equation can be used for fully-developed, turbulent flow in circular pipes and in non-circular conduits. An empirical friction...

  • Fire Resistant Building Techniques

    Devastating. The single word that describes the material, financial, and emotional damage caused by fires in structures. We rely on buildings to provide safety and protection, but how can buildings themselves be protected from the ravages of incineration?...

  • Calculations for the Hydraulic Jump in Open Channel Flow

    A hydraulic jump occurs in open channel flow whenever supercritical flow is taking place on a slope that cannot maintain the supercritical flow. The hydraulic jump provides an abrupt transition from supecritical flow to subcritical flow. Review of Supercritical...

  • Laminar and Turbulent Flow in Pipes and Ducts

    Flow of a liquid or a gas in a pipe may be either laminar or turbulent. Laminar flow is characterized by slow velocity and high viscosity. Turbulent flow is characterized by high velocity and low viscosity. For Reynolds Number (Re) < 2100...

  • Supercritical Flow in an Open Channel

    Supercritical flow in an open channel is characterized by high velocity and shallow depth of flow. Subcritical flow is the opposite. It is generally a low velocity, deep flow. The Froude number will be greater than one for supecritical flow and less than...

  • Frictional Resistances to Fluid Flow

    Nothing is ideal in this world so how can be fluid flow so simple. The model of ideal fluid flow is good for understanding and solving the fluid flow problems, but only up to certain extent of accuracy. To obtain better solutions for real fluid flows...
