Hi,

I have a compressible fluid passing through an inlet to two outlets 1 and 2 in Manifold. I was trying to find fluid flow distributions at two outlets and as well as Pressure drop.

However, I am not sure how to interpret Pressure drop values from Total Pressure Results of Inlet and Outlets?

For example: Total Pressure value at Inlet - 48.3 Pa
Outlet 1 - 39.5 Pa
Outlet 2 - 36.3 Pa

Should I subtract Pressure values of Outlet 1 and 2 from Inlet?

Will that give me Pressure drop?

Or should I just subtract Outlet 1 from Outlet 2?


Your response will be highly appreciated! Thanks
