The results of experimental work carried out on culvert inlet efficiency at the University of Saskatchewan are reported in this paper. Efficiency is reported in terms of coefficient of discharge when the culvert operates with inlet control, and in terms of the coefficient of entrance loss when the culvert operates with outlet control. A larger coefficient of discharge or a smaller coefficient of entrance loss represents a higher efficiency. Seven different culvert inlets were tested for both inlet and outlet control, and for the headwater level both above and below the elevation of the crown of the pipe at the inlet. The results are reported in nondimensional charts. Key words: culvert flow, inlet control, outlet control, efficiency, head losses, capacity.

The Given

Objective: To compare the characteristics of hydraulic potential in worn steel pipes with internal deposits subjected to cleaning by mechanical and chemical methods. Methods: Calculated dependencies are used for hydraulic calculation of new metal pipes and pipes with internal deposits. Results: A calculated dependence was obtained to determine the value of the inner diameter of pipes with any thickness of the layer of internal deposits. The concept of an efficient pipeline is introduced and a comparison made of the values of head losses in new pipes and in pipes with internal deposits. A specific practical example is considered. For the given example, compare the values of energy consumption of pumping equipment for two methods of cleaning the inner surface of pipes. Measures are indicated to ensure the efficiency of operation of water supply networks. Practical importance: It is shown that the chemical method of technical regulation of the hydraulic characteristics of new steel pipes provides an extension of the period of their further use.

Porosity-based model rely on the assumption that an urban area can be compared to a porous medium, where the porosity is defined as the ratio between the actual area available to the flow, i.e. not occupied by buildings, and the total area of the considered urban environment. In classical single-porosity models, the resulting value of the porosity parameter is considered as constant and accounts essentially for the reduced water storage capacity and reduced space available for the flow. As a consequence, the source term involving the porosity parameter only accounts for a local head loss at the entrance and at the exit of the urban area. Therefore, the head losses occurring inside the urban area are accounted for using drag-type source terms. In the present work, we tested different definitions of the porosity parameter, showing the benefits of accounting for areas with distributed porosity based on the actual layout of buildings and streets. This formulation is still compatible with the basic idea of porosity-based model, i.e allowing for the use of coarse computational meshes instead of refined meshing of the urban area.

Local head losses must be considered in estimating properly the maximum length of drip irrigation laterals. The aim of this work was to develop a model based on dimensional analysis for calculating head loss along laterals accounting for in-line drippers. Several measurements were performed with 12 models of emitters to obtain the experimental data required for developing and assessing the model. Based on the Camargo & Sentelhas coefficient, the model presented an excellent result in terms of precision and accuracy on estimating head loss. The deviation between estimated and observed values of head loss increased according to the head loss and the maximum deviation reached 0.17 m. The maximum relative error was 33.75% and only 15% of the data set presented relative errors higher than 20%. Neglecting local head losses incurred a higher than estimated maximum lateral length of 19.48% for pressure-compensating drippers and 16.48% for non pressure-compensating drippers.

PERDA DE CARGA EM TUBULAÇÕES E CONEXÕES CONDUZINDO ÁGUA RESIDUARIA DA AVICULTURA  Silvio Cesar Sampaio; Elisandro Pires Frigo; Marcio Antonio Vilas Boas; Manoel M. F. De Queiroz; Benedito Martins Gomes; Larissa Schmatz MallmannRecursos Hídricos e Saneamento Ambiental, Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Cascavel, PR  1 RESUMO O presente trabalho visou estimar a perda de carga em tubulações comerciais utilizando como fluido circulante água residuária de avicultura (ARA). As tubulações utilizadas foram de aço galvanizado e PVC, com diâmetros variando entre32 a75 mm. Construiu-se bancadas de testes para perdas de carga localizada e distribuída. Registrou-se dados de vazão e pressão para os variados tubos e conexões, utilizando os diferentes materiais. Na avaliação dos dados encontrados, os mesmos foram tabelados e ajustados a modelos potenciais para a perda de carga distribuída e fator “k” para perda de carga localizada. Como parâmetro de comparação e avaliação também foram registrados dados utilizando como fluído circulante água de abastecimento urbano (AAU). A ARA apresentou em média uma diminuição de 42 e 21% no valor do coeficiente “C” de rugosidade da equação de Hazen-Williams, quando comparado com a AAU, para os tubos de PVC e aço galvanizado, respectivamente. Para a perda de carga distribuída, estima-se um aumento que varia de31 a8% com a ARA em relação à AAU, porém essa diferença é sujeita a variação da vazão. Nas conexões soldáveis a perda de carga localizada com a ARA foi maior que na AAU, ao contrário das conexões rosqueáveis. UNITERMOS: perda de carga, irrigação, hidráulica.  SAMPAIO, S. C.; FRIGO, E.

HEAD LOSSES IN PIPELINES AND CONNECTIONS CARRYING POULTRY WASTEWATER  2 ABSTRACT An appropriate hydraulics system project requires knowledge on liquid behavior in pressurized piping. This work aimed to  evaluate head losses in pipelines and connections carrying poultry wastewater. Commercial  pipelines made of galvanized iron and PVC and diameters from1”to3”were used. Poultry wastewater presented an average decrease of 42 and 21% inHazen-Williams´s coefficient values, when compared to water in PVC and galvanized ion pipelines, respectively. In general, head loss in all pipelines increased from 31 to 8% with poltry wastewater in relation to water. The connection type affected the results in localized head loss with poultry wastewater. KEYWORDS: wastewater, irrigation, hydraulics

Domestic and industrial hydraulic drainage networks have gradually become more complicated because of the cities’ rapid expansion. In surcharged hydraulic systems, the head losses may become rather significant, and should not be neglected because could result in several problems. This work presents an investigation about major and minor head losses in a hydraulic flow circuit, simulating the water transport in a drainage network at room temperature (298.15 K) under atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa). The losses produced by the fluid viscous effect through the one used cast-iron rectilinear pipe (RP-11) and the localized losses generated by two flow appurtenances, one fully open ball valve (BV-1) and one module of forty-four 90º elbows (90E-8) were experimentally measured. Experimental data generated head-loss curves and their well fitted to potential regressions, displaying correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.9792, 0.9924, and 0.9820 for BV-1, 90E-8, and RP-11, respectively. Head loss experimental equations and local loss coefficients through BV-1 and 90E-8 were determined successfully. The Moody’s diagram application proved to be a quite appropriate tool for an approximate estimation of Darcy-Weisbach friction factor. A good approximation between friction factor values obtained via experimental measurements and the Moody’s diagram was observed with mean absolute deviate of 0.0136.

Most suspensions exhibit a rheological behaviour which cannot be represented by either Bingham's or Ostwald–De Waele's law. In studying such cases a very simple expression with only three parameters may be used. Starting with an intermediate law of this sort, this paper gives velocity profiles and head losses in laminar flow, which have been computed and plotted on diagrams in non-dimensional co-ordinates.It has been found that transition flow rates in circular tubes for data taken from the literature and from experiments conducted on drilling muds at the Institut Français du Pétrole, are efficiently predicted by an empirical criterion (Ryan & Johnson 1959) which establishes a relation between a generalized Reynolds number and a generalized Hedström number.

Water Transportation

Optimal management of power plant units is achieved when the global efficiency of the units and the minimization of the total hydraulic head losses through the water transportation systems can be combined. Evaluating these hydraulic head losses appears to be very difficult due to the complexity of the flow conditions through the hydraulic structures. A hydraulic energy based method to determine head losses in the surge chamber has been proposed in this paper, as well as a method to manage the opening of units which would optimize the production of electricity. This method was applied to a case study, and successful results have been obtained showing how the head loss varies in the surge chamber.Key words: hydraulic head losses, power plant unit, surge chamber, unit efficiency, three-dimensional flow conditions, turbulent flow models, computational fluid dynamics.
