A Breakdown | Internal Flow Part I

January 20, 2022

What Is Internal Flow? Internal flow is the transport of fluids in pipes, ducts and conduits (flow sections). There are different flow regimes for the flow of fluids: laminar flow, transitional flow, and turbulent flow. Flow regimes mainly depend on the ratio of inertial

Pressure Drop In Pipe Lines And Fittings | Part 2

April 22, 2021

Pressure Drop Caused By Valves and Fittings In part 1 the tutorial goes over pressure drop in pipelines. Just to recap pressure drop arises due to skin friction and forms friction. Non-separated boundary layers causes skin friction (the roughness of the pipe causing shear within the boundary layer of the fluid) whereas separated boundary layers
