Flow Characteristics of T-junction Pipe

This paper presents the study of flows at T-junction pipe with orifices. Experiments were carried out for several flow rates, orifice sizes, and pressure differences. Numerical simulations were also done to get more data for the wide range of flow rates. Experimental results and numerical ones are in a good agreement. Due to the effect of T-junction part, the flow rates at the lateral pipe are greater than those at straight pipe for the same pressure differences. When orifices were added, the effects of T-junction part on the ratio of flow rates and the ratio of loss coefficients reduced.
