Cfd Analysis and Comparision of Fluid Flow through Conical Orifice Plate and Standard Orifice Plate at Different Reynolds Numbers

Abstract

Flow measurement is dimension of the quantity of the fluid that passes via the pipe, duct or an open channel. Flow can be measured by way of measuring the velocity of fluid over a known region. Differential pressure measuring gadgets which includes orifice plates and nozzles are considerably carried out in numerous industries to estimate the mass glide price strolling via a channel by correlating the measured strain loss. In this thesis, an orifice plates with one-of-a-kind geometry had been designed and as compared on the premise in their coefficient of discharge. This turned into completed with the help of simulations finished with okay-ε and model on CFD as a solver. Simulations have been executed on a single hollow, perforated (6 holes, eight holes, 12 holes and 14 holes) at extraordinary Reynolds numbers (8000, 10000 and 12000). In this thesis the CFD analyses to determine the stress drop turbulence depth, mass float rate, and speed. 3-D modeled in parametric software program Pro-Engineer and analysis done in ANSYS.
