Pressure drop in valve for different open flow areas
In any piping system different types of regulating components (valves) are used. To determine the pressure drop of the liquid in these components, it is necessary to know the exact values of the local loss coefficients, which depend on their design and manufacturer. The calculations of local loss coefficients of the valves are usually carried out according to engineering methods using design handbooks. However, the large design diversity of the valves does not allow an accurate assessment of the local loss coefficient for a particular product (using handbooks). There are two ways to solve this problem. The first way is experimental determination; the second is calculation using CFD modelling. This article presents the results of CFD simulation of the pressure drop of liquid through valves and a comparison with experimental data obtained from the thermal hydraulic test bench.
