In this study, velocity distribution characteristics by location and uniformity according to exit straight length in a 180° mixed pipes were numerically analyzed using RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) turbulent model by changing various flow parameters such as working fluids, inlet air velocity etc. As a result of it, the working fluids characteristics was highly indicated by the viscous force difference, the maximum velocity points according to main pipe’s inlet velocity were indicated when 90° sectional location was distributed at X/D=0.5~0.6 region and 180° sectional location was distributed at Y/D=0.5 region. And the flow characteristics according to branch pipe’s inlet velocity when 90° sectional location was distributed at X/D=0.4~0.6 region and 180° sectional location was distributed at Y/D=0.5 region. Based on the results that the most stable exit straight length in flow uniformity was indicated at L/D=25~30 region, 40D is suggested as the effective measurement distance in the straight pipe downstream curved pipe of mixed pipe.
