Abstract
In order to transport the fluid effectively without suffering much energy loss it becomes very important to understand the frictional losses in fluid flow. And here basically two very crucial types of Losses are discussed such as Major Energy Loss this occur due to friction and other one is Minor Energy Loss this is due to sudden expansion, sudden contraction and bend in a pipe . This study will focus on calculating Losses like Major and Minor loss in turbulent fluid flow through pipes of different geometries expansion, contraction and bend . And the whole study will be performed using three different techniques firstly being experimentally performed in Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory, secondly at nodal centre of IIT DELHI using programme Virtual Labs, a project initiated by the MHRD, Govt. of India, and thirdly using ANSYS FLUENT a simulation and modelling software. The results obtained by using the three above discussed methods would be used for result validation and pointing the most effective method to calculate losses in flow through pipes. Er.
