Abstract

To research the parallel pipeline system of household solar collector pipelines,we use the FLUENT software to simulate the parallel tubes numerically .We proposed that we can reduce the pressure drop and improve the flow distribution uniformity of parallel tubes by changing the connection angle. Comparing the pressure drop of import and export and branch pipe flow, we calculated the changes of pressure drop and Average flow property. The maximum flow deviation coefficients are decreased obviously under three different mass and flow after change the angel between the pipe and branch pipe, which provides a method to design the parallel pipeline in the future. At the same time, we calculate out that reducing the number of branch pipe can also improve the uniformity of flow distribution.
