Manifolds discharge

The facdor K would be 1 in the case of full momentum recoveiy, or 0.5 in the case of negligible viscous losses in the portion of flow which remains in the pipe after the flow divides at a takeoff point (Denn, pp. 126-127). Experimental data (Van der Hegge Zijnen, Appl. Set. Re.s., A3,144-162 [1951-1953] and Bailey, ]. Mech. Eng. ScL, 17, 338-347 [1975]), while scattered, show that K is probably close to 0.5 for discharge manifolds. For inertiaUy dominated flows, Ap will be negative. For return manifolds the recovery factor K is close to 1.0, and the pressure drop between the first hole and the exit is given by... 

This equation shows that for 5 percent maldistribution, the pressure drop across the holes shoiild be about 10 times the pressure drop over the length of the pipe. For discharge manifolds with K = 0.5 in Eq. (6-147), and with 4/E/3D 1, the pressure drop across the holes should be 10 times the inlet velocity head, pV V2 for 5 percent maldistribution. This leads to a simple design equation. 

Indirect-Heat Rotary Steam-Tube Dryers Probably the most common type of indirec t-heat rotaiy diyer is the steam-tube diyer (Fig. 12-69). Steam-heated tubes running the full length of the cylinder are fastened symmetrically in one, two, or three concentric rows inside the cylinder and rotate with it. Tubes may be simple pipe with condensate draining by gravity into the discharge manifold or bayonet-type. Bayonet-type tubes are also employed when units are used...

A poorly designed discharge manifold can cause shock waves and excessive pressure peaks. This manifold should be as short and direct as possible, avoiding any sharps turns. The conventional small atmospheric air chamber, often furnished with pumps, supplies only a moderate cushioning effect. For best results, this air chamber should be supplemented by a large atmospheric air chamber or by a precharged pulsation dampener. 

The main auxiliary apparatus needed to perform fluorine combustion calorimetry consists of a fluorine still, a bomb charging and discharging manifold, and a glove box [110,111,113], The fluorine still and the manifold should... 

This filter has leaves, or tubes, arranged vertically in an open tank, and connected to a discharge manifold. Liquid is drawn through the filter elements by a pump coimected to the discharge manifold. Vacuum leaf filters have advantages of low cost (no pressure vessel) and ease of inspection. 

As an example, let us take the case of a convergent-only nozzle being fed with initially stationary air at 20 bar and 400°C. The design efficiency is 0.97. The geometry of the discharge manifold is such that we may assume that the discharge velocity will continue... 

We can expect the flowsheet to provide values of the pressure and temperature or enAalpy at the inlet and outlet of the nozzle at the design point. We may note also that the conditions just inside the nozzle outlet, station Nl , will be the same as the conditions in the discharge manifold, station at the design point. We may use these flowsheet values to deduce the overall nozzle efficiency at the design conditions using equation (14.5) ...
