CHAPTER 4

Replacing v by its equal g/gcp (where p is density in pounds weight per cubic foot) and rearranging, Equation 3 becomes

In the case of flow through a pipe, no outside work is performed so that dW = 0. Furthermore,
Jitu + pdn = JTds = Jdq + JTdJ

ds = total change in entropy.
ds' = change in entropy due to internal irreversibility from turbulence and friction.

diameter were the same throughout, the velocity, and consequently the velocity head, would be the same at both points, but the higher elevation at point 2 would still be responsible for a loss in pressure. The utility of the equation is evident, though it should be remembered that in it the effects of friction and turbulence are neglected, and that Fig. 1 represents ideal conditions. It should also be noted that care must be taken in de termining the proper mean density. Accordingly, the Bernoulli equation is applied most conveniently to. incompressible,, fluids for which density

Pressure Loss in Circular Pipes

The pressure loss in circular. pipes is customarily expressed by the
formula:

The formula is generally known by the name of Darcy Or Fanning, though it seems to have been originated by d'Aubisson de Voisins in 1834:
