Turbulent Flow Analysis in Pipelines

The document outlines various problems related to turbulent flow in pipes, including calculations for shear stress, roughness height, and velocity at different points from the pipe wall. It provides specific scenarios involving different pipe diameters and conditions of water flow. The problems require the application of fluid mechanics principles to determine parameters such as wall shearing stress and discharge in turbulent flow conditions.

Tutorial 10 A (Turbulent Flow)


Fluid Mechanics
Turbulent Flow
1. A pipeline carrying water has an average height of irregularities projecting from the
surface of the boundary of the pipe 0.15 mm. What type of boundary is it? The shear
stress developed is 4.9 N/mm2. The kinematic viscosity of water is 0.01 strokes.
2. A rough pipe is of diameter 8.0 cm. The velocity at a point 3.0 cm from the wall is 30%
more than the velocity at a point 1 cm from the pipe wall. Determine the average height
of the roughness.
3. Determine the wall shearing stress in the pipe of diameter 100 mm which carries water.
The velocities at the pipe center and 30 mm from the pipe center are 2 m/s and 1.5 m/s
respectively. The flow in the pipe is given as turbulent.
4. For turbulent flow in a pipe with a diameter of 300 mm. find the discharge when the
centre-line velocity is 2.0 m/s and velocity at a point 100 mm from the centre as
measured by pitot-tube is 1.6 m/s.
5. In a pipe of 360 mm diameter having turbulent flow, the centre-line velocity is 7 m/s,
and that at 60 mm from the pipe wall is 6 m/s. Calculate the shear friction velocity.
6. The velocity of the flow in a badly corroded 7.5 cm pipe is found to increase 20 percent
as a pitot tube is moved from a point 1 cm from the wall to a point 2 cm from the wall.
Estimate the height of the roughness.
7. A pipeline carrying water has surface protrusions of an average height of 0.10 mm. If
the shear stress developed is 8.2 N/m2. Determine whether the pipe surface acts as
smooth, rough, or in transition. For water take ρ = 1000 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity
v = 0.0093 stokes.
8. In a pipe of diameter 100 mm, carrying water, the velocities at the pipe centre and 30
mm from the pipe center are found to be 2.5 m/s and 2.2 m/s respectively. Find the wall
shearing stress.
