Fluid Flow Systems


Sample case 2: Natural circulation

Free or natural circulation is called if the flow is not driven by an external force but by a pressure gradient due to locally different characteristics (temperature, pressure and density) in the fluid. Let us have the following “boiler-feed pipe-heat exchanger-return pipe” system. This could be the heating system of a simple building (detached house), where the circulating pump doesn’t operate, but with a bypass pipe, the TS works. Simplifying the network, we get a closed system with 3 nodes and 3 edges (Figure 6.6). The system has no demand, so the mass flow is constant. The caloric equations are not written; the thermal power is considered as the temperature of the outgoing and return pipe, and hence, the density of the fluid is different. (For simplicity, the two pipe edges’ hydraulic properties (length, diameter and pipe friction factor) are the same.)

This university textbook is the joint work of the colleagues of the Department of Hydrodynamic Systems, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Its main aim is to help students deepen their knowledge of the subject Fluid Flow Systems. It also provides a brief historical overview and a basic introduction to fluid mechanics. It discusses each chapter in varying degrees of detail based on the course material. At the end of each chapter, check questions guide students in their learning.
