Abstract A general flow distribution model and a simple process of numerical analysis, which can be applied to multi-pass systems with manifolds, are presented. A numerical procedure, namely a modified equal pressure method based on the discrete model, was developed to predict flow rates at branch tubes. The predicted pressure distribution agreed well with the previous research with the average error less than 11 %. A parametric study was performed to demonstrate the effect on the flow distribution.
