Saidi Mohamad Nor Musa, supervisor Mechanical engineering Also available in printed version This thesis present result for experimental analysis of air flow velocity and pressure drop in square ducts bend with two different number of turning vane: (1) 90° square duct bend with two turning vanes and (2) 90° square duct bend with three turning vanes with 0.06×0.06m with radius of turning vane of 0.03m. This experiment used five different value of Reynold number between range 4×104 and 11×104. Each experiment has 2 section that for measurement that is before the bend and after the bend, section A-A and section B-B respectively. The first experimental study by using the inlet velocity from 10 m/s to 26 m/s for two turning vanes while experiment 2 by using three turning vanes with range of velocity same as experiment 1. From the result and analysis, the velocity will increase as the Reynold numbers are increase, these Reynold numbers increase due to increase of inlet velocity. The pattern of the velocity profile before the bend (section AA) are higher at the center for both experiments. Then, for section after the bend (section B-B) the velocity profile become more uniform compared to section A-A. The velocity profile for three turning vanes are more uniform compared to two turning vanes. Next, the pressure drop for three turning vanes are lower compared to two turning vanes. The maximum value of pressure drop for three turning vanes and two turning vanes are 293.376 Pa and 342.272 Pa respectively zulaihi UTM 63 p.
