# Result Table - Cross Junction

The available results that are listed in the table vary depending upon the fluid phase state and upon the visible properties that you have selected. Figure 1 shows the normal or default rows. You can choose the rows you wish to display in the results table via the Set Visible Results Dialog. Figure 1: Available results for a cross junction Only descriptions for the default results are shown in this section.

It is not possible for the user to change this number because it is used as a unique identifier by the scripting module. Node numbering starts from 1, incrementing upwards, and pipe numbering starts from -1, decrementing downwards. Channel Flow: This is the combined inlet or outlet flow, to or from the cross that FluidFlow has calculated will be flowing. For all phase states the mass flow into and out of the cross will be identical. For incompressible fluids the cross inlet and exit flows expressed in volumetric units will be identical, but this will not be the case if the temperature changes across the cross. For gas flows this represents the actual flow at the cross inlet. For two phase flow of constant quality and temperature, volumetric flow will be identical, for changing quality or changing temperature volumetric inlet and outlet flows will be different. There is no pressure loss associated with the channel flow. Composition Mass %: This is the fluid mass composition in the channel. FluidFlow determines the composition via an individual component mass balance is carried out over the cross. For a cross composition can change, for example, if two different fluids flow into a cross. Density: The fluid density in the channel. Density depends on temperature and pressure of the fluid. Side 1 Flow: This is the flow that FluidFlow has calculated will be flowing through the side 1 pipe. Side 1 K: This is the calculated K value. From V3.2 onwards this value will always be zero, because the pressure loss calculation is no longer made. Side 1 Loss: This is the calculated total pressure loss that occurs between side 1 and the channel and will be zero. Side 1 Reference: This refers to the flowsheet reference pipe number that FluidFlow has used for the side 1 pipe. The row is useful for cross-referencing your results. Side 2 Flow: This is the flow that FluidFlow has calculated will be flowing through the side 2 pipe. Side 2 K: This is the calculated K value. From V3.2 onwards this value will always be zero, because the pressure loss calculation is no longer made. Side 2 Loss: This is the calculated total pressure loss that occurs between side 2 and the channel and will be zero. Side 2 Reference: This refers to the flowsheet reference pipe number that FluidFlow has used for the side 2 pipe. The row is useful for cross-referencing your results. Stagnation Pressure: This is the stagnation pressure in the channel. Straight Flow: This is the flow that FluidFlow has calculated will be flowing through the straight pipe. Straight K: This is the calculated K value that has been used in the pressure loss calculation. The value of this K depends on the calculation method that has been selected (i.e., Idelchik). By convention the K values are always "adjusted" and shown based on channel flow. From V3.2 onwards this value will always be zero, because the pressure loss calculation is no longer made. Straight Loss: This is the calculated total pressure loss that occurs between the straight and the channel and will be zero. Straight Reference: This refers to the flowsheet reference pipe number that FluidFlow has used for the straight pipe. The row is useful for cross-referencing your results. Temperature: This is the stagnation temperature in the channel. Viscosity: The fluid dynamic viscosity in the channel. Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of the fluid to deformation. For Non-Newtonian fluids viscosity depends on shear rate as well as fluid temperature and pressure.
