Ball Valve

Flow in a Ball Valve Assembly with Y Connector

In this project I was able to create a Ball Valve assembly which branches into two outputs.  I was able to determine the pressure drop across each of the outputs and determine the average mas flow rate at the inlet.  To the left you'll see a velocity contour through the assembly.  You'll notice that the pressure spikes at the ball valve mechanism, but becomes much less severe as it approaches the outlets.
