Abstract

The aim of this work is to investigate the minor loss for locally available bended flexible pipes of different dimensions. Minor loss coefficients for different bend angles and different bend radius of these pipes are ascertained, using both experimental method and numerical analysis. Different parameters on which Minor Loss depend were observed and their relations to the Minor Loss were analyzed. Minor loss coefficient for different bend angles and two bend radiuses were determined. Minor losses were measured under different flow rates. The Minor Loss Co-efficient was also determined by solving Navier-Stokes Equation, with the help of standard computer program. For Turbulent Stresses Boussinesq assumption is used. As Turbulence model k ̅ -ε is implemented. Navier-Stokes equations for viscous, incompressible flow shows mixed ellipticparabolic behavior. So, semi-implicit method for pressure linked equation (SIMPLE) was used.
