Hydraulic Calculations

• Heat and hydraulic calculation of steady state flow in piping systems of any complexity (including networks with loops)

• Compressible or incompressible one phase fluids (gas or liquids), as well as two phase gas-liquid mixtures

• Different calculation tasks:

  • Both "upstream" and “downstream” pressure drop calculation  

  • Flow distribution calculation for piping networks

  • Pipeline nominal size selection

• For each piping component:

  • fluid thermo-physical properties calculation

  • fluid velocity calculation

  • head losses calculation (friction losses, local losses, hydrostatic pressure drop)

  • heat losses calculation (considering environment properties, heat insulation etc.

• For two-phase flow:

  • calculation of velocities and properties of each phase, void fraction calculation

  • flow pattern calculation, flow pattern map plotting

• Transient flow analysis – water hammer calculation for liquid flow
