ENERGY LOSSES
 Bernoulli’s equation includes the term ‘Loss of
Energy’ in the pipe.
 According to the law of conservation of energy,
energy balances have to be properly accounted.
 Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the energy
losses.
 Fluids experience energy losses in several ways while
flowing through a pipe. Some of them are;
1. Enlargement losses
2. Friction losses
3. Losses in fittings
4. Contraction losses
Introduction
 One of the type of energy losses.
 Also called sudden enlargement losses.
 Refers to the energy or head loss that occurs when a
fluid flows through a sudden increase in the diameter
of a pipe(smaller to a larger pipe).
 This type of loss is a type of “minor loss” in pipe flow,
distinct from the major losses caused by friction
along the pipe length.
Enlargement losses
 If the cross section of the pipe enlarges gradually the
fluid adapts itself to the changed section without any
disturbance. Therefore, there is no loss of energy at
the point.
 If the cross section of the pipe changes suddenly,
loss of energy is observed due to eddies (circular
movement of fluid ).
 Due to these disturbances, the loss of head will be
observed.
 In sudden enlargement, the velocity of flow at larger
cross-section is less than the velocity at smaller cross-
section ,i.e. u2 < u1.
 For sudden enlargement , the loss is represented by:

u2=Velocity of the fluid in the larger section of pipe
(after enlargement)
u1=Velocity of the fluid in the smaller section of pipe
(before enlargement)
g=acceleration due to gravity, aprox.9.81m/s^2
