Regarding bifurcated vs single pipe:

What will be the equivalent size of a bifurcated pipe against a single pipe?

Must the sum of the area (circle ) of each exhaust of the bifurcated one match the area of the single?

I have a bifurcated pipe that will go with a 36 pound engine and it seems small (diameter at exhaust) for it

Thanks,
Edgar

my best info is that each outlets should be 2/3 the area of the inlet.
If it is to small the exhaust velocity will be increased and the thrust decreased
See the wright pipe thread ect.

Thanks Bob,

What I mean to ask if how do I know if a bifurcated pipe will work for my 36 pound turbine?

I have a Tam single pipe with 90mm diameter that works in an Euro. I got another plane that uses a bifurcated pipe. When looking at that pipe, the exhaust diameter is significantly smaller than 90mm. However there are two of them. How do I know if enough?

Thanks
