FluidFlow3 is
the outcome of 9 man-years of research and programming and builds
upon
- and significantly extends - the capabilities of its predecessor
progams Piping Systems FluidFlow and Netmate.
Consequently, FluidFlow3 has a development and application
pedigree of more than 20 years, providing you with excellent
confidence in its capabilites.
Design and layout of the piping network in FluidFlow3 is
in a familiar flowsheet format using click-and-drag to select
piping components from the equipment toolbar in order to add
elements (pipes, pumps, valves, fittings etc) to the model. Pipes
are rubber-banded between elements. Panning, zooming and cut-and-past
operations are all available to allow you to design your network
with minimum effort and maximum flexibility. Piping schematics
can be displayed in orthogonal or isometric format.

Almost any type of line equipment
can be modelled including multiple pumps (end-suction centrifugal
and positive displacement) and fans in parallel, series and booster
format; flow control, pressure control, non-return and relief
valves; boundary conditions such as reservoirs, tanks and nozzles;
etc.
Pipe, fluid and equipment data
are contained in user-definable datasets.
The calculation capabilities
of FluidFlow3 include:
- Steady state compressible and
incompressible flow through complex pipe networks
- Any number of fluids in the
same network - physical properties of combined fluids determined
at the location where streams converge
- Total heat balance - heat loss/gain
through pipe walls (lagged or unlagged); heat added or removed
via heat exchangers or other line equipment
The fluids datasbase capabilites
of FluidFlow3 include:
- Over 800 fluids with their full
physical and thermodynamic properties avaialble from a wide range
of estimation techniques
- User-defined fluids can be added
- Fluid mixtures can be user-created
utilsing the existing fluids and saved (the same mixing techniques
are used in the database as in a model where fluids combine)
The user interface of FluidFlow3
includes:
- Free text on-screen
- All input and
calculated data associated can be displayed in the results inspector
and/or on the flowsheet - completely selected by the user
- Flyby facility
displays user-selected data as cursor is hovered over a flowsheet
component
FluidFlow3 reports
include:
- In-built report
writer - fully user-definable
- Output in PDF,
HTML or Word format
- Export to Excel
