A closed conduit, carrying fluid under pressure is called pipe. The terms pipe and duct are usually used interchangeably for flow sections. In general, flow sections of circular cross section are referred to as pipes (especially when the fluid is a liquid), and flow sections of non-circular ...
Thus, experiments involving measurements of pressure gradient as a function of flow rate in pipes offer an opportunity for students to visualize and quantify entropy generation in real processes. In this article, the background in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics relevant to the concepts of ...
it is truly amazing to note the role played by conduits in transporting fluid. For example, the water in our homes is normally conveyed through pressure pipelines, from the distribution system, so that it will be available when and where we want it. Moreover, virtually all of this water le...
Senoo and Nagata (1972) studied experimentally swirling flow through pipes with different wall roughness and proposed a procedure to compute local wall pressure and average static pressure. Yao and Fang (2012) performed a study of the laminar swirl flow in a straight pipe. By analytical approach ...
Fluid mechanics - Hydrodynamics, Flow, Pressure: Up to now the focus has been fluids at rest. This section deals with fluids that are in motion in a steady fashion such that the fluid velocity at each given point in space is not changing with time. Any f

The heat exchanged with the pipe wall through port H is added to the energy of the moist air volume represented by the internal node via the energy conservation equation (see Mass and Energy Balance). Therefore, the momentum balances for each half of the pipe, between port A and the intern...
The differential equation of motion is derived for fluids obeying the Bulkley-Herschel law and flowing through pipes of arbitrary cross section. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access. Similar content being viewed by others The Structure of a Viscopl...
