Pressure Estimation for Single Phase Laminar Flow in a Horizontal Pipe Using CFD
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Pipes are commonly used for fluid and gas flow in all field. The objective of this study is to predict pressure of different fluid flow along horizontal pipe by using computational fluid dynamics simulation. This paper, three dimensional numerical simulations were conducted to observe the flow pattern and flow of different fluid like engine oil, diesel, gasoil, ethyl alcohol and water. Three pipes are used in this simulation, the length of 1m and diameter 6.35mm, 9.5mm, 19mm. The FLUENT 14.5 was used to analyze the result after solving this problem.
