Y shaped pipe with tricky boundary conditions
Y shaped pipe with tricky boundary conditions
(OP)
Hey,
I have a pipe with two inlets and one outlet. Its basically a Y shaped pipe. I am trying to run a pressure drop analysis of it but I do not have any outlet data. All I have is that both inlets are exposed to a mass flow of 0.2kg/s and both are exposed at the inlet to atmospheric pressure. Solidworks flow doesnt allow you to put more than one boundary condition per surface so how would I go about finding the outlet pressure and pressure drop (outlet mass flow is also unknown).
Thank you

RE: Y shaped pipe with tricky boundary conditions
But i would set the mass flow at the inlet and the atmospheric pressure at the outlet.
Then you look at the pressure at the inlet.
Inlet pressure - Outlet pressure = pressure drop
