Predictive Model on Constant Pressure Drop Variable: Area Fluid Flow System in a Pipe

Abstract

The effect of density, pressure drop, and orifice area was examined in this research. The basic equation developed to represent steady-state fluid flow is the Bernoulli equation which assumes that the total mechanical energy is conserved for steady incompressible, in viscid, isotherm flow with no heat transfer or work done. These restrictive conditions can actually be representative of many physical systems. The Bernoulli’s principle was applied in explaining the design principle, constancy analysis and advancement of mathematics model of a pressure-based flow meter with a constant area, variable pressure drop; with the help of an orifice plate with different fluid passing through it. The developed model was explained about pressure drop with the flow rate of a given fluid passing through the orifice. The research demonstrates the usefulness of density on the flow characteristics of fluids in predictive model on constant pressure drop variable-area fluid flow system in a pipe.
