    Increase Flow Speed: Improve Efficiency with Vortex Generators or Shark Skin

    Could you explain how the shute would work? The exhaust header feeds directly into the exhaust pipes, so would it go right at the header? Also, would changing the surface of the pipes do anything? Vortex Generators? Tubercles? shark skin texture?

    Increase Flow Speed: Improve Efficiency with Vortex Generators or Shark Skin

    The air traveling through the tube is already heated and cannot be changed. Basicly this for a project on how to increase the speed of a car exhaust's system by changing the interior surface of the tubing.

    Increase Flow Speed: Improve Efficiency with Vortex Generators or Shark Skin

    yes, but I need to keep the tube at roughly 2.5 inches, so how would I cause air to flow faster through the constant sized tube? Note the air will start at an unvariable speed.

    Increase Flow Speed: Improve Efficiency with Vortex Generators or Shark Skin

    Hey I am attempting to increase the flow speed of fluids (air, water, what have you) through a tube for a project, in an attempt to make the flow faster and more efficent. I've debated using vortex generators inside the tube, or perhaps a surface resembling shark skin. If anyone has any imput...
