Flow Divider Test Rig

Flow Divider Test Rig

The behavior of a flow divider subjected to varying loads. The model consists of a power unit, flow divider, and two consumers. The power unit is modeled using a flow rate source and a pressure relief valve. The Flow Divider block splits the flow between the two variable orifices.
