In the present paper the variational solution of velocity profile for anincompressible laminar and fully developed flow in isosceles triangular ducts is derivedby applying the Kantovorich method.The theoretical and experimental results ofpressure loss are also given.The velocity distribution model,additional pressure losscoefficient and calculating method of inlet length in the entrance region of isoscelestriangular ducts are also derived,which are suitable for various kinds of vertex angles.The calculations and experiments are also performed for two models:the isoscelestriangular channels with vertex angles2α=45.1°and2α=60°.Comparisons aremade between the theoretical analysis in this paper and those of the other authors.Itcan be seen that the present analytical result is of high.accuracy and widepracticability,and agrees well with the authors’experiment.
