Effect of Different Parameters on Energy Loss Coefficient of Square Edged Orifice Plate
Abstract: Orifice meter is a differential pressure type flow measuring device in which energy loss is a major problem. The energy loss coefficient is an important indicator of energy dissipation. In this paper, different parameters like contraction ratio, orifice plate thickness and Reynolds number were analyzed by numerical simulations using Ansys CFX 15.0 software for their effects on energy dissipation. Results of simulations revealed that, Reynolds number has negligible effect on …
