An AP Research Paper Improving Faucet Efficiency through the optimization of laminar flow through annular pipe. Conclusion Summary: Study results support that the most optimal faucet profile is one that utilizes an annulus, of which the internal and external geometries are both circular. It was also observed that the average laminar efficiency of a faucet increased dramatically as the internal radius approached the external radius. Hence, it can be concluded that the larger the internal radius is, the more laminar efficient it becomes. This signifies a positive correlation between the size of the internal radius and its associated average laminar efficiency. Thus, it was determined ...
