Discrete method for design of flow distribution in manifolds

摘要: Abstract Flow in manifold systems is encountered designs of various industrial processes, such as fuel cells, microreactors, microchannels, plate heat exchanger, and radial flow reactors. The uniformity distribution a key indicator for performance the process equipment. In this paper, discrete method U-type arrangement was developed to evaluate pressure drop then used direct comparisons between Z-type. generally better than that Z-type most cases small ζ large M . approach each other increases or decreases. However, more sensitive structures approaches uniform faster decreases increases. This provides simple yet powerful tool designers select offers practical measures applications.
