            Engineers using FluidFlow 3 can determine the pressure, flow
            rate and temperature at any point around their pipework system.


            Any type of system architecture can be modeled, eg open loop,
            closed loop, branched, etc. Large complex fluid systems 

            can be rapidly analysed allowing “what if" scenarios
            to be investigated quickly and efficiently. For the flow of gases
            - 

            expansion, temperature change and choked conditions are all accounted
            for.



            

        

      




      FluidFlow3 will simulate any steady-state
      pipe network analysis with a single-phase compressible or incompressible
      fluid with optional heat change calculation at any pipe or equipment
      item. FluidFlow3 allows different fluids to enter the network
      at boundaries and will automatically determine the physical properties
      of the mixture where different streams join.


      
Optional modules will simulate
      Slurry flow and 2-Phase Gas/Liquid flow.


      
ANY NUMBER OF FLUIDS WITHIN
      THE SAME NETWORK 

      (Single phase liquid
      and gas calculations only)


      
Fluids are specified at each
      input boundary and the software takes care of composition changes.
      This means you can analyse networks containing as many fluids
      as you require. Physical properties of mixtures at flowing conditions
      are estimated as needed. Networks can also be analysed containing
      multiple fluids where mixing does not occur. For example, you
      can analyse cooling water and process streams within the same
      flowsheet.

FLUID EQUIPMENT


      
The performance of almost any
      type of line equipment can be determined, for example:


      
    
        
  • Pump duty, efficiency, NPSH,
        power
        
  • Fan or compressor duty
        
  • Control valve opening
        
  • Heat change across heat exchangers,
        pipes
        
  • Safety relief valves
        
  • Manual valves
        
  • Orifice plates
        
  • Filters
        
  • Sprinklers and nozzles
        
  • and much more
      


      
TOTAL HEAT BALANCE


      
Fluid temperatures are specified
      only at boundary components. All other temperatures as well as
      fluid phase states are calculated by the software. Temperature
      effects of pressure changes, heat loss or gain from the surroundings
      and heat exchange made at each network component make heat transfer
      an automatic part of network flow calculations.Fluid temperatures are specified at boundary
      components; all other temperatures as well as fluid phase states
      are calculated by the software.


      
COMPRESSIBLE FLOW


      
Gas calculations make no simplifying
      assumptions of ideality, adiabatic or isothermal processes etc.
      Pressure losses are determined by solving the momentum and physical
      property equations simultaneously. This means more accurate results,
      particularly at higher Mach numbers. Choked conditions and sonic
      flows are properly accounted for.
