Irrecoverable pressure loss coefficients for a short radius of curvature piping elbow at high Reynolds numbers

OSTI ID:650318
Pressure drops in a piping elbow are experimentally determined for high Reynolds number flows. The testing described has been performed in order to reduce uncertainties in the currently used design values for predicting irrecoverable pressure losses. The earlier high Reynolds number correlations had been based on extrapolations over several orders of magnitude in Reynolds number from where the original database existed. The test data shows about a factor of two lower elbow pressure loss coefficient (at 40 {times} 10{sup 6} Reynolds number) than those current correlations.
