Velocity Profiles around Eccentric Reducer The reducer has an effect on the uniformity of the flow as shown in the graphics below. The abscissa x = 0 is the inlet of the circular pipeline downstream the reducer. Both velocity field UU and the velocity vectors are plotted at selected sections. Fig. 1: Velocity profile around eccentric reducer, cross section on a vertical plane. Data: u = 41.30 m/s (mass flow 270 tons/hour, under specified conditions: p = 111.8 bar). Fig. 2: Velocity profile around eccentric reducer, cross section on a vertical plane. Data: u = 52.00 m/s (mass flow 340 tons/hour, under specified conditions: p = 111.8 bar). May 5, 2001 Dr. A.
