Introduction

• Fluid flow in circular pipes is commonly encountered in actual

plant design practice

• An important practical fluid engineering problem is flow in

pipes with

� various fluids

� various pipe sizes

� pipe geometries (fittings, valves, entrance and exit pipe)

� flow rates

� Fluid conditions (T and P)

Introduction

An Hydraulic program assist engineers, operations

personnel and maintaince personnel in

calculating hydraulics problems, which focuses on

the engineering uses of fluid properties in

industries.

Hydraulic program considers:

� Liquid lines

�Gas lines

Introduction

Liquid Line Friction Pressure

In designing equipment and piping systems, engineersneed piping hydraulic line calculation with variousvariables such as rate, elevation, pipe size, etc.

There are many piping systems in industry andconditions such temperature and pressure in the pipesare sometimes updated.

This Hydraulic program is very useful to calculate losspressure per 100 ft, end pressure, and velocities basedon conditions input currently.
