Click the tank on the left of the drawing, to indicate that a pipe will be drawn from this node. , the drawing cursor will change to a pointerĢ2. Click the ‘Add pipes button’ on the toolbar, with a node/pipe link symbol. Edit the bottom elevation value, enter 10.000 (the tank is located at 10.000 ft above your datum). Edit the liquid level value, enter 2.000 (the liquid level in the tank is set to 2.000 ft). Leave the tank surface pressure as 0.000 psig (the tank is open to atmosphere). A third tank will be drawn on the grid and the node pane will show the tank details. Move the cursor to a position about 4 grid intervals to the left and 2 grid intervals above the second tank position and click on the grid. A second tank will be drawn on the grid and the node pane will show the tank details. Move the cursor to a position about 12 grid intervals to the right and 2 grid intervals above the original tank position and click on the grid. Edit the bottom elevation value, enter 1.000 (the tank is located at 1.000 ft above your datum). Leave the tank surface pressure as 0.000 psig (the tank is open to atmosphere).ĩ. A tank will be drawn on the grid and the node pane will show the tank details. Click on the grid, in the left hand quarter of the grid and about half way down the screen. , the drawing cursor will change to a pointer and aĦ. Click the ‘Tank button’ on the tool bar, tank symbol. Click yes to accept the Imperial default units Adding the tanks: 5. Click the Imperial radio button to change the units to the imperial defaults. Click no to reject the isometric grid option. Click yes at prompt to create a new grid. Select new grid – Click new grid tool button.
Create a System using the following Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. A licensed version of Pipe Flow Expert allows up to 1000 pipes in a single system.
Note: When Pipe Flow Expert is operating in trial mode, a maximum of 5 pipes can be drawn and the system cannot be saved.
It explains how to design the system, calculate the solution and view the results. This document provides a step-by-step walkthrough example that shows how to create and solve a system that contains 5 pipes, 3 tanks and one pump.
Pipe Flow Expert Software Example System - Step By Step Instructions The difference between the results of the experiment and modeling if the percentage of 27 0/0 is suppressed.PipeFlow is a trading name of Daxesoft Ltd. The water debit generated from the test equipment is 1.3 m 3/h, while using the software of 1.8 m 3/h.
The difference in velocity between modeling and calculation is due to the difference in internal diameter of the model by calculation, where the difference in value is 0.2 mm. While the model pipe flow expert program 5.12 pressure on the main pipe of 1.18 atm, the pressure at the end of the valve 1 atm, the speed in the main pipe 1.077 m/s, the speed in the second pipe of 1.79 m/s, and the speed In the last pipe 3.3 m/s. Pipe used is PVC with diameter 1 inch, ¾ inch, and ½ inch. The pressure in main pipe is 1,12 atm and pressure at output valve Water 1 atm based on the calculation method, the flow velocity in the main pipe 1 m/s, the speed in the second pipe 1.76 m/s, the speed in the last pipe of 3.34 m/s. Head losses on pipe diameter 19 mm with length 3800 mm at 1.52 m and head losses at pipe diameter 12,7 mm with length 2800 mm equal to 10,59 m. Head losses overall on 12.1 m piping system, This value can be from the sum of head losses on the pipe diameter of 25.4 mm with a length of 3400 mm of 0.0786 m. Head losses are a flow loss phenomenon within the piping system. The most dominant water distribution system used is the preparation system, in which each system has its respective advantages and disadvantages, where the weakness of the piping system is the unavoidable pressure loss caused by the connection factor and the surface roughness of the material used.
