Introduction
• Sizing a pump properly saves money!
• Must overcome friction• Watch out for cavitation!

Understanding Friction Factors
• What are friction factors?– Energy Balance
• What goes in must come out (sort of…)
– Bernoulli’s Equation

Trends in Friction Factors
• What effects a friction factor?– Properties of the pipe, i.e. roughness– Fluid properties and mechanics
• Laminar vs. Turbulent Flow
![Page 7: Friction Factors, Pumping and You Understanding how friction affects your bottom line](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062907/5a4d1b807f8b9ab0599bacc2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Trends in Friction Factors
• Reynolds Numbers– Accounts for velocity, geometry,
density and viscosity, and how!• Re<2000, Laminar Flow• 2000<Re<4000, Transition• 4000<Re, Turbulent Flow

Trends in Friction Factors
• Moody Diagrams– Based on experimental work– Gives Darcy friction factors by
Reynolds number and pipe roughness– Resulting Equations for Fanning

Trends in Friction Factors
• 2 Methods to determine ‘f’:– Trust the Moody Diagram– Physical Experimentation
• Measure pressure drop over horizontal pipe

Experimental Procedure
• Two pipes selected with differing roughness
• A 2%wt solution of NaCl was run through pipes at various flowrates
• Pressure drop was measured across 10ft. sections of pipe.

Conclusions and Recommendations
• Overall trend of Moody diagram is very accurate
• Moody diagram gives a good estimate for friction factors
• Additional tests should be performed using longer pipes
• Minimal friction is money saved
