Chapter 7
Flow in Closed Conduits
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After reading this chapter and solving a representative sample of end-of-chapter problems, you will be able to:
- Understand the hydraulic classification of smooth and rough pipes.
- Apply the energy equation to solve practical problems related to flow in closed conduits.
- Calculate water hammer pressures and critical closure times for valves.
- Calculate flow distributions in pipe networks.
- Analyze and design building water supply systems.
7.1 Introduction
A flow in which the fluid completely fills a conduit is classified as a flow in a closed conduit. Gases generally fill the conduit in which they are being transported. In contrast to gases, liquids only undergo closed-conduit flow when there ...
