Divided flow in Tee

Divided flow in Tee

Divided flow in Tee

(OP)
Hi,

I would like to know what is the best procedure to calculate pressure drop through a Tee with different diameters. The flow is entering by one end (Q1 12") and is being divided into the branch side (Q2 8") and the opposite end (Q3 12"). I'd like to know how should I calculate the pressure drop for each side of the tee (branch and straight end). Thanks a lot.

Ignore it in the first pass.  The geometry of the tee rarely dominates the fluid's decision about which path to take.

Crane's velocity head method: straight, use K for tee-run;  branch, use K for tee-branch plus 12x8 reducer.

I have a Technical Deviation that allows me to Hydro Test Non-Compressible fluids without a PSV.

I work in the petroleum industry.

What is an example of a non-cpmpressible and compressible fluid?

QCMike,

You should start a new post. You seem to be highjacking this one.

RE: Divided flow in Tee

water is incompressible and air is compressible (tread hi jacker).

Best regards
