Hi I'm running an experiment in the lab right now where the kit has a flow of gas (such as oxygen and nitrogen) from the side. The trouble is that I am trying to expose the gas to a powder which will throw itself everywhere. I am currently thinking of using a T-junction pipe (as in the image below) and sealing one end so that I could put the sample in the bottom branch allowing the gas to flow over the sample but not cause turbulence such that the powder would be blown out of the junction.
I'm not sure if the arrangement I have is the best solution. It may even be best to have the T junction sideways.
The question is in terms of fluid dynamics do you think the gas exposure will be sufficient enough and would there be too much turbulence causing the powder to blow away? (I can't check by experimenting as if it fails it will damage the gas flow kit).
Please suggest other arrangements such as different positions and longer branch etc...
Thanks in advance. :)
