Dear student,


The Junction pressure as a result of a bend in a pneumatic conveying line is in most calculations accounted for by assuming an extra section of pipe of an equivalent length.

A more sophisticated way is to calculate the velocity loss in the bend and calculate the re-acceleration pressure drop after the bend.
