Sparger /manifold design
Sparger /manifold design
(OP)
Ive spent days looking for the answers on the internet myself. Ive talked to engineers I know, ive learnt heaps and read more but Im still struggling to get my head around friction losses in manifolds and spargers.
I need a number of spargers (4) in a tank to creat a rotational velocity. Tank velocity is proportional to jet velocity, flow and number of jets created by the holes.in the sparger pipe.
My problem begins when trying to calculate the friction loss created by the spargers and the manifold that delivers the flow evenly to the spargers. Of course I need to know this so that I can make an appropriate pump choice.
Ive probably got the information I need but im being a bit thick.when im trying to make use of it.
Hope someone can help.

Frankly i struggle with this a little too. You almost need to develop a spreadsheet that calculates the head loss in the pipe between the orifices. Remember that at each orifice you lose a portion of the total flow so that between orifices the loss of flow at orifice (n-1)should correspond to a reduction in velocity in the pipe on the way to orifice (n) assuming constant diameter of pipe. It is an iterative process. If this is helpful perhaps we can continue this dialogue.

Has a section on spargers but im still not sure how to calculate the losses from branching of pipes.

If not its a pipe with holes init with the jets from the holes pointing along the side of the tank. The impulse of the jets interacting on the water in the tank gets the water turning

I would like to know, how can I measure the case hardeness during the drying process of a root ( medicinal plant), which device shall I used to do it????
