Abstract An analysis for predicting the head loss in flow through a cyclone dust separator is presented. The effect of wall friction is indicated by consideration of two cases—one for zero wall friction, the other for wall friction great enough to eliminate the angular momentum of the stream. Comparisons of the analysis are made with the experimental data obtained from a test cyclone in which the flow rate, the depth of the inlet area, the radius of the exhaust pipe, and the extension of the exhaust pipe into the cyclone were variable. In general the agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is good. The regions of deviation between the two results are evaluated qualitatively with respect to the effects of wall friction on the head loss.

Full Scale Tests

Porous dikes have been proposed for use in blocking access of fish to cooling water intakes in power plants using large cooling ponds for heat dissipation. Flow through such dikes is neither of the Darcy type nor quadratic, the friction factor depending on both the Reynolds number and material properties. Full-scale tests of the dike material proposed for the LaSalle County power plant confirmed the material-property and Reynolds-number dependencies reported in the literature and permitted calibration of the head-loss parameters for the prototype material under two placement configurations. Limited tests on dike clogging by surface debris permitted quantification of the additional head loss which clogging could cause. Key words: porous media, cooling ponds, dikes, scale model tests.

Loss Coefficients

Losses due to the flow through conduit components in a pipe system can be characterised by head loss coefficients. They basically account for the dissipation in the flow field or, in a more general sense, for the entropy generation due to the conduit component under consideration. When only one single mass flow rate is involved, an entropy based approach is straight forward and ṁ can be used as a general reference quantity. If, however, the mass flow rate is split or united like in junctions, some new aspects appear. In our study the general approach for these kind of conduit components is discussed. Like for single mass flow rates losses are accounted for by determining the entropy generation rates. New aspects for the branched flows are an additional parameter, the splitting ratio, and the fact that there is an energy transfer between the single branches that has to be accounted for appropriately. It turns out that this energy transfer changes the total head in each flow brach in addition to a sole loss of total head. Therefore, the coefficients should be named head change coefficients when this effect occurs. As an example the flow through a T-shaped junction is considered, for which head loss coefficients are determined for both branches and discussed with respect to their physical meaning.

Media Data

The importance of understanding transport characteristics of flow through gravel media is discussed from the viewpoint of salmonid enhancement programs. A summary of the important features of the incubation process with respect to mass transport is provided along with applicable theories describing flow through porous media. Data obtained from experiments described herein are used to assess the accuracy of existing correlations for predicting pressure drops across gravel substrates. It is found that available hydraulic relations can be used to predict flow velocity magnitudes in gravel media with an accuracy of ± 50% over a twofold range of flow rates, providing one measurement of head loss is available at one flow rate. An adaptation of the Carman–Kozeny equation is found to be suitable for calculating the influence of fines on permeability. The importance of air entrapment on flow resistance is confirmed experimentally and modeled using available correlations. Lastly, the applications of these results for calculating oxygen transport to incubating salmon eggs and minimum water flows in hatcheries are discussed.Key words: Salmon enhancement, oxygen transport, permeability, gravel, incubation, hatcheries

Special Case

The definition of head loss/change coefficients should be based on the dissipation in the flow field or, in a more general sense, on the entropy generation due to a conduit component. When, in the simplest case, unbranched flow is considered, an entropy based approach is straight forward since the flow rate can be used as the general reference quantity. If, however, one mass flow rate is split or two partial flow rates are united like in junctions, a new aspect appears: There is an energy transfer between the single branches that has to be accounted for appropriately. It turns out that this energy transfer changes the total head in each flow branch in addition to the loss of total head due to entropy generation. Therefore, appropriate coefficients for junctions should be named head change coefficients. As an example, head change coefficients for dividing and combining flows due to T-shape micro-junctions are investigated and discussed with respect to their physical meaning. For combining flows, the special case of engulfment, leading to enhanced mixing in micro mixers, is considered in detail.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe four computer exercises that have been developed for undergraduate engineering students at Union College. Each exercise involves a computer model for predicting steady, viscous flow through an engineering device. All of the analyses were performed using FLUENT, a finite-difference fluid modeling program marketed by Creare, Inc. The following cases are described in this paper: 1. The flow through a square-edged orifice was modeled and results for discharge coefficient are compared with experimental data published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). 2. The flow through a quadrant-edged orifice was modeled and results for discharge coefficient are compared with published data. 3. The flow through a Herschel-type Venturi meter was calculated and results for discharge coefficient are compared with ASME data. 4. The flow through a sudden pipe expansion was modeled and results for head loss are compared with a theoretical model.
