Design of Power-Plant Installations - Pressure-Loss Characteristics of Duct Components
Abstract
A correlation of what are believed to be the most reliable data available on duct components of aircraft power-plant installations is presented herein. The information is given in a convenient form and is offered as an aid in designing duct systems and, subject to certain qualifications, as a guide in estimating their performance. The design and performance data include those for straight ducts; simple bends of square, circular, and elliptical cross section; compound bends; diverging and converging bends; vaned bends; diffusers; branch ducts; internal inlets; and angular placement of heat exchangers. Examples are included to illustrate methods of applying these data in analyzing duct systems.
