What would the purpose of a bend like this be? This is on a industrial oil heater and is the pipe to the expansion tank. Some of the heating circuit piping is above the level of the expansion tank. Would this help with static head pressure?3yr ⋅ RallyWRX17 ⋅ r/FluidMechanics

Hi guys, I am having difficulties to understand what's happening. I designed a duct to try to get a higher air speed by applying the conservation law, but it doesn't work. with or without the duckt, the air speed is the same while the surface area is different, meaning the flow rate changes..1yr ⋅ th0masrtg ⋅ r/FluidMechanics
