A study on flow resistance in the entrance region of isosceles triangular ducts

In the present paper the variational solution of velocity profile for anincompressible laminar and fully developed flow in isosceles triangular ducts is derivedby applying the Kantovorich method.The theoretical and experimental results ofpressure loss are also given.The velocity distribution model,additional pressure losscoefficient and calculating method of inlet length in the entrance region of isoscelestriangular ducts are also derived,which are suitable for various kinds of vertex angles.The calculations and experiments are also performed for two models:the isoscelestriangular channels with vertex angles2α=45.1°and2α=60°.Comparisons aremade between the theoretical analysis in this paper and those of the other authors.Itcan be seen that the present analytical result is of high.accuracy and widepracticability,and agrees well with the authors’experiment.     

THE NEW SOLUTION FOR THE AXIALLY SYMMETRICAL LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYER EQUATIONS BETWEEN TWO PARALLEL SPHERICAL SURFACES

The transformations, which are similar to Mangler's transformations, are given in this paper. They change the entrance region flow of axially symmetrical laminar boundary layer between two parallel spherical surfaces into the flow of two-dimensional boundary layer, and simplify the problems. The simplified equattons can be solved by the two-dimensional boundary layer theory and numerical methods. Therefore, a new way is opened up to solve the diffusive laminar fiow in the entrance region between two parallel spherical surfaces.

An approximate solution considering flow inertia between spherical surfaces

In this paper, the analytical expressions of the pressure distribution, velocity distribution and discharge of the flow between spherical surfaces are found by using the method of iterative approximate solution when the inertia terms of Navier-Stokes equations in spherical coordinates are taken into consideration. Furthermore, using these expressions, we can directly obtain the corresponding analytical expressions of the laminar radial flow between parallel disks, which are fully identical with corresponding results presented by refs. [3,4].     

An analysis on entrance region effect of the laminar radial flow between two parallel disks

In this paper, B. B. Golubef method^[1] is used for calculating the radial diffuse flow between two parallel disks for the first step. The momentum integral equation together with the energy integral equation is derived from the boundary layer momentum equation, and the expression of secondary approximation explicit function in which the channel length of entrance region varies with the boundary layer thickness can be obtained by using Picard iteration[2] in the solution of the energy integral equation. Therefore, this has made it possible to analyze directly and analytically the coefficients of the entrance region effect. In particular, when the outer diameter of disk is smaller than the entrance region length, the advantage of this method can be prominently manifest.Only because the energy integral equation is employed, the terms in the pressure loss coefficient can be independently derived theoretically. The computable value of the pressure loss coefficient presented in this paper is nearer to the testing value than that in ref. [3] when the entrance correction Reynolds number Re<100. Therefore the results in this paper within Re<100 are both reliable and simple.     

Study on correction coefficients of liminar and turbulent entrance region effect in round pipe

In this paper, a universal method for calculation of the inlet length and correction coefficient for the pressure losses and the flow in the case of laminar and turbulent flow in a smooth round pipe is put forward.With the aid of concrete examples, theoretical formulas are presented for calculation of the correction coefficient for pressure losses and flow in the case of laminar and turbulent flow. And a method for calculation of the flow is also presented here in consideration of the inlet effect of turbulent flow.By comparing the theoretical results with the experimental data, formulas presented in this paper are very simple and reliable.     

THE NEW SOLUTIONS FOR TWO KINDS OF AXIALLY SYMMETRICAL LAMINAR BOUNDABY LAYER EQUATIONS

The transformations, which are similar to Mangler's transformation, are given in this paper, and make the two kinds of entrance region flow of axially symmetrical laminar boundary layer in internal way into the flow of two-dimensional boundary layer, and simplify the proboems. The simplified equations can be solved by the 2-D boundary layer theory. Therefore, a new way is opened up to solve the axially symmetrical flow in the entrance region of internal way.
