Variasi Hambatan Downstreamke Side Arm T- Junction Sudut 45o Pada Saluran Miring Terhadap Karakteristik Pemisahan Kerosene - Air

Abstract

Research about T-junction as separator still in developing, especially about liquidliquid flow to get maximum efficiency. Has been done research about dissociation characteristic of kerosene and water applies T-junction with inlet - 1,50 orientation of side arm upward with angle of 450. Pipe diameter inlet 36 mm, and side arm pipe diameter 19 mm, from material plexyglass. Variable which in measure is, debit kerosene and secretory water passed side arm and run arm to get its the dissociation efficiency based on speed of superficial kerosene and water according to test matrix. Pressure difference at area T-junction also is measured. To point kerosene flow into side arm hence in doing arrangement of flow resistance at downstream equal to 42%, 57%, and 72%. Based on visualisation and measurement data yields maximum dissociation efficiency equal to 100% happened at its the flow pattern stratified.
