    Great teaching techniques sir.
    Hope you will upload maximum lectures.
    U hit directly on the point we need to analyze and is very useful for solving numerical. Became your fan .

      Thank you much. In the video description you will see a link to an Excel file that has links to all the videos in this series, plus some short more humorous ones. I update this file regularly as I create new lessons. Please share with your colleagues and friends - anyone who teaches or is learning fluid mechanics.

    Hello, sir. So, the given is Tee and the inlet volumetric flowrate is Q1= 100 GPM. The oulet volumetric flowrate is required. The inlet diameter d1=d2=80 mm (one of the outlet) and the other one is 40 mm. How do you solve the 2 outlet volumetric flowrate if the only given is Q1 and the diameters, coz there will be 2 unknown.

      As I explain, you solve the two parallel sections independently, pretending that only blue fluid goes through one pipe branch and only red fluid through the other. The key is that the pressure at the tee is the same regardless of which branch you are considering.

    What would the total head loss in the system be (in the context of sizing a pump for application). Would the total head loss be the head loss through the branch with the greatest losses? That way if the pressure at the junction is high enough to overcome the losses through the worst-case branch, then it can also overcome the losses for the other branch?

    • @johncimbala

      It would be the same pump requirement regardless of whether you consider one branch or the other branch or just the junction point. The pump would not know the difference.

    Good day, I just wanted to ask if the tee branch is flowing to different pipe size, from 24" pipe into 12" pipe.
    Currently I have the mass flowrate (800m3/hr) and pressure (6 bar) of the 24", so how do I calculate the pressure at the junction flowing into 12" pipe. For flowrate I think I can use a portable flowmeter, but for pressure I don't know which equation to use...

    • @johncimbala
      @johncimbala  6 месяцев назад +1

      Use the analysis method I provide in the video. It does not matter what the pipe diameters are, we solve it the same way (results vary with variation in any parameter such as diameter, length, roughness, etc. of course). The pressure at the junction is determined by simultaneously solving for all the branches in the flow as I explain in this and in the next lesson.

    What software do you recommend for these calculations? I love your book so much. Thank you

    • @johncimbala
      @johncimbala  4 месяца назад +1

      Most of my students use MATLAB. Some use Excel, and others use EES. I use all of these, sometimes repeating the same calculations in two different software packages to decrease the likelihood of error.

    Dear Mr. Cimbala, what is the alpha notation that you use in the energy equation, multiplying the velocity term? The energy equation includes alpha1, alpha2 and alpha3 which I don't underatand.

    • @johncimbala
      @johncimbala  Год назад

      It is the kinetic energy correction factor. Watch my Lesson 05C to learn more.

    Actually, Pressure drop must be equal through the branches. Otherwise pressure at the junction will have 2 values which is impossible. Also we assume steady state system that means no back flows can occur, which is the case if back pressures are not equal. Finally we adjust flow by this logic in our factory with a control valve. I advise you check that part sir

    • @johncimbala
      @johncimbala  Год назад

      Of course the pressure must be the same at the junction. But the flow downstream of the junction after it splits will adjust the flow rates such that both outlet pressures are achieved. It is not necessary for the two outlet pressures to be the same - the flow will adjust to whatever those two pressures are. If both segments exit into the same atmospheric pressure, then the pressure drop will indeed be the same through both branches, as you say. But I am saying that it is not necessary for the two outlet pressures to be the same and hence the two pressure drops could be different.

    • @ramazanfurkanoran5819
      @ramazanfurkanoran5819 Год назад +1

      @@johncimbala So you mean, total back pressures from the exit to the junction point are the same for each branch but their pressure loss will not be equal if their exit pressures are not equal?

      ​@@johncimbalacan we apply bernoulli's equation for branch flows, between the main pipe and exit of branch 1 & main pipe and exit of branch 2 ? You used Bernoulli's equation for the example you explained in the video, so I presume that Bernoulli's equation is applicable for these kind of situations with some assumptions right ?

    • @doganhamsioglu1545
      @doganhamsioglu1545 Год назад

      I meant between main pipe (1) and branch 2 & main pipe (1) and branch 3

    • @johncimbala
      @johncimbala  Год назад

      @@doganhamsioglu1545 Bernoulli's equation is NOT valid for pipe flows ever. There are irreversible head losses that must be accounted for. You CAN use the head form of the energy equation, which is what I use for these kinds of problems. Yes, you can use the energy equation all the way through the pipe in either branch. That is why I made the different colors. Pretend one portion of the flow is one color and the other portion is the other color and that they don't mix. That's not what happens in real life, but it is useful to understand what is going on.
