Abstract

The objective of bachelor thesis is to reveal the methods and insights how Piping System technology can be use of significant for attaining their optimal use in industry goals. In this study, the flow fields of T-junction were analyzed by using AcuField View simulation benchmarks in HyperWorks programming software. The simulation results identified the variation rule of velocity peak in T-junction with different frequencies and inlet direction phase differences, meanwhile, the eddy and velocity shock existed in the corner of the T-junction, and limit working state was neglected. Although the eddy disappeared in T-junction, the velocity differences and pressure loss were still too big. To address this problem, type of fluids were change into three type only which is Water as the main type of flow used while other two type of fluids are Diesel and Ammonia. Additionally, type of pipe materials such as Galvanized Iron, Stainless Steel, and Brass were also neglected due to only focusing on fluid analysis which mean friction were not considered in this study. Through the computation of the pressure loss from pipe, it has been found that the higher the inlet velocity the lower pressure loss indicated.
