Latest revision as of 18:26, 1 April 2026

Flow-station data

The starting point is the governing equations for one-dimensional steady-state flow

Continuity

ρ1u1=ρ2u2

Momentum
ρ1u12+p1τ¯wbLA=ρ2u22+p2(Eq. 3.126)

where τ¯w is the average wall-shear stress

τ¯w=1L0Lτwdx(Eq. 3.127)

b is the tube perimeter, and L is the tube length. For circular cross sections

bLA={A=πD24,b=πD}=4LD(Eq. 3.128)

and thus

ρ1u12+p14D0Lτwdx=ρ2u22+p2(Eq. 3.129)
Energy
h1+12u12=h2+12u22(Eq. 3.130)

Differential Form

In order to remove the integral term in the momentum equation, the governing equations are written in differential form

Continuity
ρ1u1=ρ2u2=const(Eq. 3.131)
ddx(ρu)=0(Eq. 3.132)
Momentum
(ρ2u22+p2ρ1u12+p1)=4D0Lτwdx(Eq. 3.133)
ddx(ρu2+p)=4Dτw(Eq. 3.134)
ddx(ρu2+p)=ρududx+uddx(ρu)+dpdx={ddx(ρu)=0}=ρududx+dpdx(Eq. 3.135)
ρududx+dpdx=4Dτw(Eq. 3.136)

The wall shear stress is often approximated using a shear-stress factor, f, according to

τw=f12ρu2(Eq. 3.137)

and thus

ρududx+dpdx=2Dfρu2(Eq. 3.138)
Energy
h1+12u12=h2+12u22=const(Eq. 3.139)
ho1=ho2=const(Eq. 3.140)
ddxho=0(Eq. 3.141)

Summary

continuity:

ddx(ρu)=0(Eq. 3.142)

momentum:

ρududx+dpdx=2Dfρu2(Eq. 3.143)

energy:

ddxho=0(Eq. 3.144)

From chapter 3.9 we have the following expression for the momentum equation for one-dimensional flow with friction (equation (3.95))

dp+ρudu=12ρu24fdxD(Eq. 3.145)

For cases dealing with calorically perfect gas, (3.95) can be recast completely in terms of Mach number using the following relations

  • speed of sound: a2=γp/ρ
  • the definition of Mach number: M2=u2/a2
  • the ideal gas law for thermally perfect gas: p=ρRT
  • the continuity equation: ρu=const
  • the energy equation: CpT+u2/2=const

Continuity equation

We start with the continuity equation which for one-dimensional steady flows reads

ρu=const(Eq. 3.146)

Differentiating (\ref{eqn:cont:a}) gives

d(ρu)=0.ρdu+udρ=0.(Eq. 3.147)

If u0. we can divide by ρu which gives us

duu+dρρ=0.(Eq. 3.148)

Now, if we divide and multiply the first term in (\ref{eqn:cont:b}) by 2u and use the chain rule for derivatives we get

d(u2)2u2+dρρ=0.(Eq. 3.149)

Energy equation

For an adiabatic one-dimensional flow we have that

CpT+u22=const(Eq. 3.150)

If we differentiate (\ref{eqn:ttot:a}) we get

CpdT+12d(u2)=0.(Eq. 3.151)

We replace Cp with γR/(γ1) and multiply and divide the first term with T which gives us

γRT(γ1)dTT+12d(u2)=0.(Eq. 3.152)

Now, divide by γRT/(γ1) and multiply and divide the second term by u2 gives

dTT+(γ1)2M2d(u2)u2=0.(Eq. 3.153)

We want to remove the dT/T-term in (\ref{eqn:ttot}). From the definition of Mach number we have that

a2M2=u2(Eq. 3.154)

which we can rewrite using the expression for speed of sound (a2=γRT) according to

γRTM2=u2(Eq. 3.155)

Differentiating (\ref{eqn:Mach:b}) gives us

γRM2dT+γRTd(M2)=d(u2)(Eq. 3.156)

Now, if we divide (\ref{eqn:Mach:c}) by γRTM2 and use a2=γRT and a2M2=u2 we get

dTT+d(M2)M2=d(u2)u2(Eq. 3.157)

Equation (\ref{eqn:Mach}) may now be used to replace the dT/T-term in equation (\ref{eqn:ttot})

d(M2)M2+d(u2)u2+(γ1)2M2d(u2)u2=0.(Eq. 3.158)

which can be rewritten according to

d(u2)u2=[1+(γ1)2M2]1d(M2)M2(Eq. 3.159)

Using the chain rule for derivatives, the last term may be rewritten according to

d(M2)M2=2MdMM2=2dMM(Eq. 3.160)

which gives

d(u2)u2=2[1+(γ1)2M2]1dMM(Eq. 3.161)

The ideal gas law

For a perfect gas the ideal gas law reads

p=ρRT(Eq. 3.162)

Differentiating (\ref{eqn:gaslaw:a}) gives:

dp=ρRdT+RTdρ(Eq. 3.163)

If p0., we can divide (\ref{eqn:gaslaw:b}) by p which gives

dpp=dTT+dρρ(Eq. 3.164)

which can be rearranged according to

[dppdρρ]=dTT(Eq. 3.165)

Now, inserting dT/T from equation (\ref{eqn:ttot}) gives

[dppdρρ]+(γ1)2M2d(u2)u2=0.(Eq. 3.166)

The dρ/ρ-term can be replaced using equation (\ref{eqn:cont})

dpp+d(u2)2u2+(γ1)2M2d(u2)u2=0.(Eq. 3.167)

Collect terms and rewrite gives

dpp+[1+(γ1)M22]d(u2)u2=0.(Eq. 3.168)

Momentum equation

By combining the above derived relations and the momentum equation on the form given by (3.95), we can get an expression where the friction force is a function of Mach number only

For convenience equation (3.95) is written again here

dp+ρudu=12ρu24fdxD(Eq. 3.169)

if u0., we can divide by 0.5ρu2 which gives

2dpρu2+2ρuduρu2=4fdxD(Eq. 3.170)

using M2=u2/a2, a2=γp/ρ and the chain rule in (\ref{eqn:mom:a}) gives

2γM2dpp+d(u2)u2=4fdxD(Eq. 3.171)

From equation (\ref{eqn:gaslaw}) we can get a relation that expresses the pressure derivative term, dp/p, in terms of Mach number and d(u2)/u2. Inserting this in (\ref{eqn:mom:b}) gives

2γM2{[1+(γ1)M22]d(u2)u2}+d(u2)u2=4fdxD(Eq. 3.172)

collecting terms and rearranging gives

M21γM2d(u2)u2=4fdxD(Eq. 3.173)

if we now use equation (\ref{eqn:ttot:Mach}) to get rid of the d(u2)/u2-term we end up with the following expression

4fdxD=2γM2(1M2)[1+(γ1)2M2]1dMM(Eq. 3.174)

Differential Relations

In analogy with the heat addition process discussed in the previous section, one-dimensional flow with heat addition is a continuous process. We will derive the differential relations for one-dimensional flow with friction, which will lead to trends for supersonic and supersonic flow with friction.


The continuity equation gives

d(ρu)=udρ+ρdu(Eq. 3.175)
dρρ=duu(Eq. 3.176)

The addition of friction does not affect total temperature and thus the total temperature is constant

To=T+u22Cp=const(Eq. 3.177)

differentiating gives

dTo=dT+1Cpudu=0(Eq. 3.178)

with u=MγRT, we get

dTT=(γ1)M2duu(Eq. 3.179)

A differential relation for pressure can be obtained from the ideal gas relation

p=ρRTdp=R(Tdρ+ρdT)(Eq. 3.180)
dpp=(1+(γ1)M2)duu(Eq. 3.181)

The entropy increase can be obtained from

ds=CvdppCpdρρ(Eq. 3.182)

and thus

ds=R(1M2)duu(Eq. 3.183)

Finally, a relation describing the change in Mach number can be obtained from

M=uγRTdM=MduuM2dTT(Eq. 3.184)

which can be rewritten as

dMM=(1+(γ1)M2)duu(Eq. 3.185)

Eqns.~\ref{eq:fanno:drho} - \ref{eq:fanno:dM} are expressed as functions of du and in order to get a direct relation to the addition of friction caused by the increase in pipe length dx, the equations are rewritten so that all variable changes are functions of the entropy increase ds.

dρρ=1R(1M2)ds(Eq. 3.186)
dTT=(γ1)M21R(1M2)ds(Eq. 3.187)
dpp=(1+(γ1)M2)1R(1M2)ds(Eq. 3.188)
dMM=(1+(γ1)2M2)1R(1M2)ds(Eq. 3.189)
duu=1R(1M2)ds(Eq. 3.190)

A relation for the change in total pressure can be obtained from

ds=CpdToToRdpopo(Eq. 3.191)

Since total temperature is constant the relation above gives

dpopo=dsR(Eq. 3.192)

Using the differential relations above, we can get a good picture of the development of flow variables as friction is continuously added to the flow (see Figure~\ref{fig:fanno:trends}).


Friction Choking

Figure~\ref{fig:friction:Ts} shows the Fanno flow process in a Ts-diagram. The dashed line represents the sonic temperature, which means that the flow states along the process line above the dashed line are subsonic flow states and the part of the line below the dashed line represents supersonic flow states. In both subsonic and supersonic flow addition of friction leads to a change in temperature in the direction towards the sonic temperature, i.e. the flow approaches sonic conditions (M=1). When the length of the pipe through which the fluid flows is equal to the length at which the flow is sonic, the flow is choked (friction choking) and further pipe length cannot be added without a change in the flow conditions. For an initially subsonic flow, a pipe longer than L, the change in flow conditions is analogous to the what happens for addition of heat to a subsonic flow that has reached sonic state discussed in the previous section. The inlet conditions will change such that the massflow is reduced without changing the inlet total conditions such as the pipe length is equal to L for the new inlet conditions.

M1=f(L)

T1=f(To, M1)

p1=f(po, M1)

ρ1=f(p1, T1)

a1=f(T1)

u1=M1a1


For a choked supersonic flow, addition of more friction (increasing the length of the pipe such that L>L) may lead to the generation of a shock inside the pipe. In contrast to the one-dimensional flow with heat addition where a shock does not change q, L is increased over a shock. The internal shock will be generated in an axial location such that L downstream of the shock equals the remaining pipe length at the shock location (see Figure~\ref{fig:friction:choking:sup}). As more length is added to the pipe, the shock will move further and further upstream in the pipe until it stands at the pipe entrance. If the pipe is longer than L after o shock standing at the inlet, the shock will move to the upstream system and the pipe flow will be subsonic and the massflow will be adjusted such that L=L according to the process described for subsonic choking above.

From prvevious derivations, we know that L is a function of mach number according to

4f¯LD=1M2γM2+(γ+12γ)ln((γ+1)M22+(γ1)M2)(Eq. 3.193)

by dividing both the numerator and denominator in the fractions by M2 it is easy to see that the choking length (Figure~\ref{fig:friction:factor}) approaches a finite length for great Mach numbers and thus the upper limit for the choking length L1 is given by

4f¯L1D(M1)|M1=1γ+(γ+12γ)ln(γ+1γ1)(Eq. 3.194)


From the normal shock relations we know that the downstream Mach number approaches the finite value (γ1)/2γ large Mach numbers and thus the choking length downstream the shock is limited to

4f¯L2D(M2)|M1=(γ+1γ(γ1))+(γ+12γ)ln((γ+1)(γ1)4γ+(γ1)2)(Eq. 3.195)

From the relations above we get

(4f¯L2D(M2)4f¯L1D(M1))|M1=(2γ1)+(γ+12γ)ln[((γ+1)(γ1)4γ+(γ1)2)(γ1γ+1)](Eq. 3.196)

Figure~\ref{fig:friction:factor:shock} shows the development of choking length L1 in a supersonic flow as a function of Mach number in relation to the corresponding choking length L2 downstream of a normal shock generated at the same Mach number. As can be seen from the figure, a normal shock will always increase the choking length.
