Abstract
Bell mouth inlet is applied in various industries due to the advantage of little pressure loss and accurate flow measurement. In this study, the configuration of the bell mouth intake is designed in a long radius shape, and a suitable grid size was selected to minimize the pressure drop and to prevent the engine damage by foreign objects at outdoor operating conditions. It was able to present a modified pressure drop coefficient equation from two data obtained from the computational simulation and experimental results for the total pressure loss by inlet screen installation.
