Simulation of air flow loss in triangle pipe construction

Abstract

The purposes of this research are to find out how the simulation of flow velocity, mass flow rate and pressure that occur in each variation of Reynold numbers on the triangle pipe arrangement of solid work software. By using test and simulation analysis methods, using a number of tools and materials so that they can be simulated and simultaneously analyze the resulting design. The tools and materials used in the simulation and analysis process in this design are (1) computers with specifications of the Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E3-1246 v3 @ 3.50Ghz 3.50 GHz (2) a solid work keel device for analyzing pressure. This fluid mass flow rate is influenced by the velocity of fluid flow and the temperature at this fluid can influence fluid density and specific gravity. This fluid speed can affect the pressure that hits the pipe. In the simulation results, there is a significant pressure change due to the speed that changes over the sidelines of the same pipeline. This change raises the loss of friction in the arrangement of the pipe pipeline due to the pressure factor that hit the pipe. The pressure that occurs is influenced by the velocity of fluid flow, fluid mass flow rate and cross-sectional area on the triangle pipe arrangement.
