Abstract

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the fluid flow resistance in the rectangular channel with two inclined wire screen baffles. Two different types of wire screens; dutch weave and plain weave, were used as baffle devices in this experiment. Three kinds of baffles with different mesh specifications were made up of dutch type and four different kinds of baffles were made up of plain weave type. The stainless steel wire screen baffles were mounted on the bottom wall with varied angle inclination. Reynolds numbers were varied from 23,000 to 57,000. Results show that the mesh number of baffles plays an important role on friction factor behaviour. It is found that the baffle with the most number of meshes (type SA) has the highest fluid flow resistance.
