Head Loss of Syphon

1. The document provides calculations to determine the head loss due to friction in a syphon system using both US customary (fps) and metric (MKS) units. 2. For the fps system, given parameters like area, perimeter, length, and velocity are used to calculate the hydraulic radius and friction factors. 3. Plugging these values into the head loss formula results in a head loss due to friction of 2.51 inches for the fps system. 4. Similarly, for the MKS system, the same process is followed using metric values, yielding a head loss due to friction of 3.07 inches.

HEAD LOSS OF SYPHON (fps system)

GIVEN:Area= 2.438*3.28 = 55 sq ft
Perimeter = 2(6.88+7.99)

=30

Hydraulic radius (r) =area/perimeter = 55/30


=1.83
F1= 0.08
F2 =a (1+b/r)
=0.00316(1+0.03/1.83)
=3.21*10-3 = 0.00321180327
l = 82m= 268
2g = 2*32.2 = 64.4
v=q/a = 188/55 = 3.41
Put

all these values in the formula we get,

Head loss due to friction (hl) =


(1+f1+f2*L/R)*V2/2G
= (1+0.08+0.00321180327*268/1.83)*3.412 /
2*32.2
=28.47

So, head loss due to friction = 2.51


Head loss of siphon (fps system)
Given:1. Area = 2.438*3.28084 + 2.10*3.28084
=55 sq/ft
2.

Perimeter = 2*2.438+2*2.10
= 30

3.

Velocity

= discharge/area = 188/55
=3.418 ft/s

4.

Length =

82m = 268

5.
Hydraulic radius (R) = Area/ perimeter
=55/30
=1.838
6.

A= 0.00316

7.
B= 0.03 (where a and b are different
values for f1 and f2)
8.
F2 =A*B/R = 0.003116*0.03/1.838
0.075211
9.

F1= 0.08 (where f is the friction

10.
g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2
ft/seconds
Now, put all these values in the formula, we
get
Head
loss
due
(1+f1+f2*L/R)*V2/2g

to

friction

(hl)

=
(1+0.08+0.075211*268/1.838)*3.4182/2*32.2
= (1.08+0.075211)*3.4182/2*32.2
= (1.1552)*11.682/64.4
= 0.2095
=2.51
Therefore head loss due to friction = (hl) =
2.51

HEAD LOSS OF SYPHON

(MKS SYSTEM)

GIVEN:1. g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.823


m/s2
2. Length of barrel = 82 m
3. Area = 2.438+2.10 = 4.538m
4. Perimeter = 2*2.438 +2*2.10 = 9.076 m
5. Velocity = Q/A = discharge /area =
5.34/4.538 = 1.176 m/s
6. Hydraulic mean radius (R) =
Area/perimeter = 4.538/9.076
= 0.5 so, R = 0.5
7. F1 = 0.08
8. F2= A* B/R = 0.003126*0.03/0.5
=0.00001896

9. in the formula of f2, we have to take the


values of a and b i.e. A = 0.00316, B= 0.08
10. Now we have to put all the values in the
formula of head loss due to friction i.e.:Head loss due to friction (hl) =
(1+f1+f2*L/R)*V2/2g
=
(1+0.08+0.00001896*82/0.5)*1.1762/2*9.823
= (1.08+0.0310)*1.1762/2*9.823
= (1.111) *1.382/19.64
= 1.535/19.64
=0.07815 m
Now we have to convert m into inches,
= 0.07815*39.3701
= 3.07
Therefore head loss due to friction = HL=
3.07
