Distribution of energy losses at conduit trifurcations

Syamala Rao, B.C. / Lakshmana Rao, N.S. / Shivaswamy, M.S.

Equation for estimation of energy losses in individual branches; experiments were conducted for division of flow on nine trifurcations with branches of 1 to 2 in. diam and take-off angles of 0 to 90°; coefficients for theoretical equations are determined from experiments; Reynolds number influence on energy loss in range 1×10⁵ to 4×10⁵ was negligible; influence of kinetic energy coefficient on energy loss coefficient in main pipe was investigated; energy losses at trifurcations were compared with those at bifurcations available in literature and were larger in magnitude.
