Transport, Blending & Storage
|
 | Friction factors - correlations from Colebrook, Steffenson-Serghides, Chen, Churchill, Swarmee-Jain, Hagen-Poiseuillen, Wilson-Azad, |
| Long pipeline design - Panhandle, Weymouth, Oliphant, Spitzglass & AGA correlations |
| Process pipe design with compressible and incompressible fluids |
| Process pipe design with 2-phases - Lockhart-Martinelli, Coker-Kern, Blackwell correlations, and condensate line design |
| Economic pipe design - brute force, analytical |
| Valve and fitting types - ball, plug (cock), gate, butterfly, check, and foot valves, elbows, T-pieces, contractions, enlargements, entrances, exits & orifices |
| Pipeline losses with fitting -equivalent length, velocity head, K, 2-K and 3-K methods |
| Relief valve system design - for liquids, & gases |
| Control valve sizing - valve characteristics, trim, quick-opening, linear, equal percent & hyperbolic |
| Pumps design - centrifugal |
| Compressor design - adiabatic & isothermal |
| Storage vessel design and more.. |
The desired embedded objects should be copied into project a project file, and the input data edited for its intended purpose.
For example, open up the TranStoB database to see the following:-
Now search for "3-K" (to design a piping system with fittings using
the latest 3-K correlations):-
Highlight the 3-K spreadsheet with a stylus tap and copy it (ctrl-C) as
below:-
Now switch to your project file and embed the object (Ctrl-V) thus:-
Open the spreadsheet and insert the required data in the "INPUT"
data section thus:-
Note that fluid density and viscosity can be calculated via ChemProp. Carry on
entering pipeline data, the number and types of fittings until completed.
Having entered the data, pan to the bottom for the calculated pressure drop
and outlet pressure:-
