Shear Stress in Pipes
Steady, uniform flow in a pipe: momentum
flux is zero and pressure distribution across
pipe is hydrostatic, equilibrium exists between
pressure, gravity and shear forces

Since h is constant across the cross-section
of the pipe (hydrostatic), and dh/ds>0,
then the shear stress will be zero at the
center (r = 0) and increase linearly to a
maximum at the wall.
Head loss is due to the shear stress.
Applicable to either laminar or turbulent flow
Now we need a relationship for the shear
stress in terms of the Re and pipe roughness

Entrance Loss in a Pipe
In addition to frictional losses, there are minor
losses due to
Entrances or exits
Expansions or contractions
Bends, elbows, tees, and other fittings
Valves
Losses generally determined by experiment
and then corellated with pipe flow
characteristics
Loss coefficients are generally given as the
ratio of head loss to velocity head
K loss coefficent
K ~ 0.1 for well-rounded inlet (high Re)
K ~ 1.0 abrupt pipe outlet
K ~ 0.5 abrupt pipe inlet

EGL & HGL for Losses in a Pipe
Entrances, bends, and other flow
transitions cause the EGL to drop an
amount equal to the head loss
produced by the transition.
EGL is steeper at entrance than it is
downstream of there where the slope
is equal the frictional head loss in the
pipe.
The HGL also drops sharply
downstream of an entrance
