I made this problem for more understanding of pressure and pressure loss in vertical flow.
Consider the following steady system, where a fluid enters a tank and exits through a vertical pipe of length L and diameter D=2R. Height of fluid in the tank is constant and equals to H. Density and viscosity of liquid are ρ and μ, respectively. If flow is laminar find Q.
Now if I write Bernoulli's equation for the free surface of tank and exiting point of pipe, then I getPatmγ+v202g+z0=Patmγ+v22g+z+hl,
Edit1: Momentum balance for the laminar flow in the pipe gives the velocity asvz(r)=R24μ(−dpdz+ρg)(1−r2R2)
1) hL=L(−dp/dz)/γ=32μvLγD2−L
2) hL=L(−dp/dz+ρg)/γ=32μvLγD2
I don't have a sense of p here! Can you give a physical sense of pressure within the exiting pipe?
Edit2: The answers and discussions in this question may solve the following similar questions:
Answer
You can use the Darcy-Weisbach equation, but you have to modify it a little for vertical flow. In vertical flow, a differential force balance on the flow gives:
(P(z+Δz)−P(z))πD24+ρgπD24Δz=τwΔzπD
