BOUNDARY LAYER CONCEPT In a flow over surface, effect of viscosity causes the fluid to stick to the wall. This layer will have zero velocity relative to the surface. Hence a velocity distribution is built up near the surface.

Velocity gradient is large at the surface. A small distance away from the surface the velocity asymptotically approaches the upstream velocity. This region is called boundary layer.
Outside the boundary layer, flow can be assumed to be non-viscous flow.

MODELS AND SIMILITUDE What is Model Testing? The design, construction, and erection of hydraulic structures and machines involve time, money, energy, and efforts. To minimize the chances of failure, it is desired to perform the tests on a small size models of the structures and machines. The actual size machine is called prototype. The small replica of prototype is called model. In certain cases models may be larger than the prototype (Ex: Model of a watch). Model testing is economical, easy, and can be changed any number of times.

HOMOLOGUS UNITS Machines which are geometrically similar form a homologous series. The member of such a series, having a common shape are simply enlargements or reductions of each other.

If two machines are kinematically similar, the velocity vector diagrams at inlet and outlet of the rotor of one machine must be similar to those of the other.
Geometrical similarity of the inlet and outlet velocity diagrams is, therefore, a necessary condition for dynamic similarity.

SPECIFIC SPEED The performance or operating conditions for a turbine handling a particular fluid are usually

expressed by the values of N , P and H , and for a


pump by N , Q and H . It is important to know the range of these operating parameters covered by a machine of a particular shape (homologous series) at high efficiency. Such information enables us to select the type of machine best suited to a particular application, and

thus serves as a starting point in its design.

A parameter involving N , P and H but not D is obtained for turbine as KsT Similarly, a parameter involving N , Q and H but not D is obtained as KsP

THEORY OF TURBO MACHINES A turbomachine consists of a rotating element, fluid and a relative motion between the two. Fluid Machine is a machine which uses fluid for transfer of energy from fluid to rotor or rotor to fluid.

Based on the direction of transfer of energy, fluid machines or turbomachines can be classified as
(i)Turbines ( Power Generating Machine) (ii)Pumps or Compressors (Power Absorbing Machine)

EULERS EQUATION Eulers head is the energy transferred per unit weight of fluid from fluid to rotor or from rotor to fluid. Formula: HE = [u1Vw1 u2Vw2] / g meters

Assumptions: Steady uniform flow with continuity in pressure. For Turbines, HE is positive For Pumps/compressors, HE is negative

88

FLUID MECHANICS UNIT 4 ROTO DYNAMIC MACHINES

EULERS EQUATION
Specific work g HE = [u1Vw1 u2Vw2] = (1/2) {[ V12 V22 ] + [ U12 U22 ] + [ Vr22 Vr12 ] } [ V12 V22 ]/2g is energy transfer due to change of absolute energy of fluid between inlet and outlet. It is called impulse effect. [ U12 U22 ]/2g is change of energy due to centrifugal effect and changes static pressure. [ Vr22 Vr12 ]/2g is energy transfer due to change of relative kinetic energy of fluid between inlet and outlet. It is called impulse effect. This is called Reaction effect and changes static pressure.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS Centrifugal Pump is a roto dynamic pump in which mechanical energy is converted in to hydraulic pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid by the impeller. Working Principle: When certain mass of fluid is

rotated by an external source, it is thrown away


from the central axis of rotation and a centrifugal head is developed. This centrifugal head enables the liquid to raise to a higher level.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS CAVITATION: is the phenomenon of formation of vapour bubbles of flowing fluid in a region where the pressure of liquid is below its vapour pressure and the sudden collapsing of these bubbles in a region of high pressure. Cavitation occurs if the suction pressure falls below the vapour pressure of the liquid. Cavition results in (a) Cavity formation (b) Noise and Vibration (c) Drop in efficiency and head developed.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS Priming:is the operation in which suction pipe, casing of the pump and a portion of the delivery pipe up to delivery valve are completely filled with liquid before starting the pump. Thus air from these parts of the pump is removed.

If priming is not done: 1. Air pockets inside the pump may cause vortices and discontinuity of flow. 2. Dry running of pump resulting in rubbing and seizing of wearing rings. 3. Pump impeller may be seriously damaged.

AIR VESSELS Ai Vessel: is a closed chamber, opening at the bottom side and connected to suction pipe and delivery pipe. Compressed air is filled up inside the chamber. Air vessels are connected in the pipes at points close to the cylinder. ADVANTAGES:

Air Vessels provide continuous flow of fluid at uniform rate.


Air Vessels increase the delivery head. Air Vessels help to run the pump at high speeds without separation.

128

FLUID MECHANICS UNIT 5 POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MACHINES

AIR VESSELS PERFORMANCE During the first half of delivery stroke, piston accelerates to force the liquid into the delivery pipe with higher velocity. The excess liquid flows into the airvessel compressing the air inside. During the second half of the delivery stroke piston decelerates to force the liquid into the delivery pipe with a lower velocity. Now the liquid stored in the airvessel flows into the delivery pipe. Thus uniform velocity is obtained in the delivery pipe. Similarly, on the suction side, liquid flows into the air vessel during first half of suction stroke and flows from the airvessel into the cylinder in the second half of the suction stroke.
