ABSTRACT
Pressure loss in air duct channels is caused by friction between the fluid and the walls of the pipe conveying liquid or gaseous product from one location to another. In recent times, a number of tools have developed for analysing this relationship but STAR CCM+ was adopted in this study for analysing the pressure losses at predetermined velocities. The velocities used were 5m/s, 10m/s, 20m/s and 40m/s respectively and the pressure losses at each simulation cycle where 5.94, 21.91, 81.58 and 285.66Pa according to the set velocities. Hence, it was observed that the pressure losses increased as the velocity and inlet pressure increased.
