Pressure drops, elevation, pipe fittingAbstract
Pressure drop in the pipeline can be caused by friction and obstruction in the pipe resulting in the loss in pressure. This predicament problem caused a shortage of water supply in the building, especially at the KKTDI residential college, especially in the morning. This problem may be caused the student a bit late in attending the lecture. Thus, this study is focused to determine the pressure drop in the pipeline of the KKTDI residential college due to the shortage of the water supply. The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method was applied in this study. A three-dimensional pipe system from the actual KKTDI pipeline was developed in this study. The steady-state condition is considered in this study. The validation was made between the actual and the simulated data in pressure drop. From the observation, the pressure drop in the pipeline was approximately 30% dropped as compared to the normal system. The pressure drop has occurred from the fitting, junction, and elevation of the pipeline, and the pressure continues to drop from one junction to another junction.
