In high pressure high temperature system, flow restricting venturi (convergent divergent nozzle) are installed on the "main pipelines" to minimize the break flow to atmosphere from the sub pipelines connecting pipelines, connecting to the "main pipelines".
The design direction of flow through the venturi is inlet through a small convergent section followed by a long divergent section.
The question is, whether the "the break flow to atmosphere" will vary if the venturi is erected in reverse direction? |
