Basic Definitions

1- Piping Network

In general, networks consist of a number of components (Pipes, Ducts, Pumps, Valves, Filters, Orifice Plates, Fixed Pressure Drops and Nozzles) all connected together. The points at which the components may be joined to other components are referred to as nodes. Consider, for example, the simple system shown below, which consists of a single pipe with a nozzle on one end. A fluid enters at theopen end of the pipe and is discharged through the nozzle.

Basic Definitions

This network can be represented schematically by the diagram shown below.

2- Labeling Diagram

Notice how the pipe, nozzle and nodes have each been given a label. When preparing a network for simulation every component and every node must be given a label which identifies it uniquely. The production of a fully labelled schematic diagram is an essential part of any simulation.Labels may either be tagged or untagged.

Basic Definitions

Labels can be tagged or untagged.Tags can be used to make labels more meaningful, and to allow sections of large networks to be more easily identified. In our schematic diagram we have labeled the pipe as P/1(tagged label), the nozzle as 100(untaged label), and the nodes as 1 and 2(untaged label).

3- Inlets and Outlets

In the drawing of a network ,each pipe, pump, valve and filter component should have two nodes (one at each end). One of these nodes is designated the component's input node and the other is designated its output node. Note that fluid does not necessarily flow from the input node to the output node.

Sizing

5.1- Velocity

High velocity in piping systems increases the following effects:

-Pressure Drop.

-Pipe corrosion.

-Water hammer.

-Noise (sound) emission.

In the other hand low velocities increases pipe diameter (Increase the total cost) and also increase the possibility of illuviation (Sedimentation) in a piping systems.

For fluid velocities of different systems it is better to refer to the piping hand books.

5.2- Pressure drop

Generally if is preferable to reduce pressure drop in piping system as far as possible because :

-To decreases the size of pump or compressor (Cost reduction).

-To reduces the initial pressure (i.e. in case of gravity flows).

-To decreases the energy losses.

-To reduce down stream velocity of gases and also the related corrosion and noise emission.

For admissible pressure drop for different media system it is better to refer to piping hand books (For example for Water it is 2.5 m/100m and for natural gas the total pressure drop shall be less than 10% of initial pressure).

5.3 -System requirements & contract (client) recommendations

Some times we have to meet some conditions in Terminal points / input/out put points (according to technical matters, contract specifications or client requirements). For example:

- For a long water piping system with gravity flow may be it is needed to use velocities less than what was mentioned before.

- For a system with predefined flow characteristics in inlet and out let points (flow characteristics have been defined in terminal points).

-Climatic conditions.

V=Admissible flow velocity (to be taken from the table) [m/s] ,

Internal pipe diameter [m]

After calculation of the pipe inside diameter ,according to the pipe schedule and pipe dimension standard the suitable nominal diameter is selected.

Now the actual velocity of the medium in the pipe shall be calculated according to the selected nominal diameter.

Note: The metal pipe dimensions are basically according to ANSI B36.10 or API 5L.Also for PE pipe please refer to DIN 8074.

Pressure losses which occur in piping systems due to bends, elbows, joints, valves, and so forth are called form losses. For the recommended values of local flow resistance coefficients (K-factors) please refer to Crane Flow of Fluids.

Where; Liquid Density [kg/m3] , V=Fluid velocity [m/s]

Head loss due to the fittings [m] , K=Fittings resistance coefficient

Pressure drop due to fittings [Pascal]

Form losses may also be expressed in terms of the equivalent length Le of pipe that has the same pressure head loss for the same flow rate; thus

8- Sequence of simulation

-Prepare a pipe route (single line) according to the technical specification and system requirements.

-Specify the process characteristics of flow in I/O points (Regarding to the Terminal point data, consumers and also system component specifications)

-Specify each pipe section and its node numbers and extract its relevant information from the pipe route and technical specifications (length of the pipe section, its start & end nodes identification, its fitting, fixed pressure drops,).

-Calculate the pipe size of each pipe section (see page 12).

-Calculate the total pressure drop in each pipe section. It is noted that out put pressure of each pipe section shall be used as input pressure of the next pipe section.

It is noted that according to piping specification of contract the pipe schedule for all size shall be Sch. STD commercial pipe and water temp is 15c.Also according to the strainer data sheet the maximum pressure drop of the strainer at dirty condition is 0.2 bar. Regarding to the piping specification All the bends are long radius (R=1.5D). The minimum pressure in inlet terminal point is 8 barg .The elevation of the inlet terminal point is 800 MSL.

What is pipe net ?

The PIPENET suite of programs has been designed to enable the accurate simulation of fluid through a network of pipes and other components.

The full suite of programs consists of the following modules:

1-Standard Module: For general flow analysis of the single phase flow of liquids and gases.

2-Spray / Sprinkler Module: Specifically for the design of fire protection systems (deluge, ring main or sprinkler) in accordance with NFPA rules .

3-Transient Module: For the analysis of transient flow in all types of network employing a liquid. It has many applications including predicting pressure surges, calculating hydraulic transient forces and modeling control systems.

Applications

-Powerful tool in the design (sizing & pressure drop calculation) of piping systems contain single phase steady flow of liquids and gases.

-It is also a flexible tool for simulation of ducts, pumps, fans, filters, control valves, non-return valves, orifice plates, nozzles and fixed pressure drops in the piping systems.

-It can be used as an aid in designing a new network of pipes with appropriate pipe sizes and ensuring that the system specification requirements are met. It can also be used to investigate the consequences of blocked or broken pipes in the network.
