Effect of 90° elbows on pump inlet flow conditions
Abstract The use of 90° elbows upstream of a pump inlet can distort the approach flow resulting in spatial and temporal velocity variations and swirling flow that negatively affect pump performance and increase maintenance requirements. In order to attend these flow conditions, pumps have to be inst...
