Hello everybody,
for the first time I am dealing with pipe flow and I need some ideas and suggestions on how to set up my case properly. I have a closed loop cooling system, where air passes through some pipes of different diameters: the smallest one has a diameter of some millimeters, while the largest one is of the order of meters, as shown in the attached picture. Air is moved by a fan placed in the mean diameter section. My main objective is to calculate the pressure drop in the system. Here are my questions:
or are there any other suggestions?These are only of the few questions that are running into my mind... Looking for someone that can shed some light on the subject. Regards, mad |
