Head Velocity

on . Posted in Fluid Dynamics

velocity headHead velocity is when the liquid is allowed to flow from the tank while additional liquid is being added.  The movement of the liquid through the pipe is converted to kinetic energy that is called head velocity.

 

Head Velocity formula

\(\large{ \Delta h = \frac{v^2}{2 \; g}  }\)     (Head Velocity)

\(\large{ v = \sqrt{ 2 \; g \; \Delta h  }  }\)

\(\large{ g = \frac{v^2}{2 \; \Delta h }  }\)

Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ \Delta h  }\) = head loss of flowing fluid  \(\large{ft}\)  \(\large{m}\)
\(\large{ v  }\) = velocity of fluid \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\) \(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\) \(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\)
