•In pipelines of gasses flow functional reliance λ = f(∆e,Re) is
valid.It means ,that friction depend from the equivalent roughness and flow regime
•For steel material of gas pipes equivalent roughness ∆e = 0,1 mm
•For copper or plastic gas pipes ∆e = 0,0015–0,003 mm only.(see Table)
•According the Moody chart,5 zones of friction factor λ is valid: 1) Laminar flow.For laminar flow friction factor is independent
of relative roughness,and can be estimated by formula:
Re

=
λ (1) Where : Re < 2000 –Reinold’s number;
Trang 3•For the transition II zone,(2000 < Re < 4000),the flow can be
laminar or turbulent(or an unsteady mix of both) depending on the specific circumstances involved.Coefficient λ can be find according empirical formula Zaichenko:

Trang 4•For flows with moderate values of Re in the turbulent IV zone(Re
>4000, and 10 < Re ∆e/d <500 ) coefficient λ depend on both - the Re number and relative roughness (λ = f ( Re, ∆e/d )).For this case the

•For the flows in the rough turbulent V zone(Re >4000, and
Re ∆e/d >500) surface roughness completely dominates the
character of the flow near the wall.(λ = f (∆e/d))From the (5) formula

Trang 6•NOTE: Even for hydraulically smooth pipes the friction factor is not zero.That is,there is a head loss in any pipe,no matter how smooth the surface is made.This is a result of the no-slip boundary conditions
that requires any fluid to stick to any solid surface it flows over.There
is always some microscopic surface roughness that produces the no-slip behavior on the molecular level, even when the roughness is
considerably less then the viscous sub layer thickness
•According the practice and investigations of gas flow in pipelines it can be conclude that we can found all 5 flow resistance zones in steel

Trang 8•Turbulent flow regime in I.F.Moody diagram is characterized by a family of curves.The lowest curve of the family expresses λ - Re
relationship for ∆e/d = 0.It is a smooth pipe case – pipe wall
roughness elements are hidden in a laminar film and the roughness makes no influence on the friction factor λ
•Each of the rest curves of the family represents definite relative
roughness ∆e/d.Thus, a friction factor here depends from both Re and
∆e/d
•At the right side of the diagram the curves expressing λ = f(Re,∆e/d relationship are parallel to Re axis.It means that Re has no influence
on λ, it depends on relative roughness ∆e/d only.It is a rough pipe
case
•Reynolds number Re and relative roughness ∆e/d are to be known to
read friction factor on the Moody diagram When flow rate Q is
computed and there is no possibility to compute Re ,λ is read from a rough pipe zone of the chart.Then the actual meanings of Re is
computed and friction factor is corrected

Trang 12The coefficients of minor loss in gas pipelines
•These coefficients are found experimentally
•The meaning of minor coefficient depend on obstacle geometry and measurement as well as flow regimes.( influence of regimes is when Re < 105 and more significant - when laminar flow exist)
•When the distance between neighboring elements of obstacles is small the impact on flow resistance can be That must be estimated
in the case by modification of minor coefficient ζ
•The impact distance can be found by A.D.Altshul formula:
