Question

Total head D. Describe and explain with reference to appropriate equations why the static head dynamic head and total head change with position along the duct ENG210 Laboratory Manual E. In this experiment you studied three different volumetric flow rates. Describe and explain with reference to appropriate equations why the static head, dynamic head and total head change with the water flow rate F. Based on the data collected in Run 1, perform the static head, dynamic head and total head calculations for a converging duct. d Aroc 25 4ko fedt waler Dato Calc -3 Hi 0

Explanation / Answer

The static head, sometimes referred to as the pressure head, is a term primarily used in Hydraulics to denote the static pressure in a pipe, channel, or duct flow. It has the physical dimensions of length (hence the term "head") and represents the flow-work per unit weight of fluid. In practice the static head is equivalent to the vertical distance from a given streamtube to the piezometric head line or the hydraulic gradient line. If P is the pressure in a streamtube, the static head is defined by P/g. Using this definition it is apparent that in a open channel flow, where the pressure is assumed to be hydrostatic, the static head is the distance from the streamtube to the water surface.
