Flow Visualization Pattern on Sharp Edge T-Junction through Dividing Flow Channel

Abstract:

In the previous study, sharp edge T-junction had been investigated to determine head losses and flow pattern. In this study, sharp edge T-junction was used as inlet flow model scale to determine flow visualization pattern. The apparatus test provide a dividing flow channel on static conditions which is the inlet pressure larger than 1 atm. Pressure difference is measured by using a U-pipe manometer. The manometer was inserted between inlet and outlet. Flow rate is measured by collecting fluid into a measuring cup. The coefficient of losses is determined as a result for predicting the losses energy. Flow Visualization Pattern is one of solution to perform the mechanism of sharp edge T-junction as inlet flow model scale. The result shows that flow pattern from simulation has the same trend with experimental results.
