The experimental pipelines used for research purposes must be structurally analyzed to meet the design requirements. The work carried out here focuses on the structural analysis of a thermal mixer pipeline. There is a cold compressed air flow in this pipeline at 8 bar pressure. Flow rate is to be varied based on mixing ratios; the supports in the pipe are designed to withstand maximum flow through the pipe. The pipeline is analyzed theoretically and by simulation using ANSYS APDL 16.0, finally the number of supports required to meet the design needs is concluded. Similarly in future, the whole experimental pipeline is to be studied individually and as a whole and the support structures are to be designed for the thermal mixer setup based on the analyzed data.
