Piping Hydraulics is a software tool designed for engineers working on industrial piping and pipelines. It allows for the calculation of changes in pressure and temperature along a pipeline, taking into account the fluid flowrate, piping geometry, and possible heat loss/gain to the environment. The software is based on a thermodynamic model of differential equations and utilizes the Runge-Kutta method for resolution. It enables the user to consider the effects of surrounding air, water, or soil on the piping/pipeline.
The PH software is dedicated for engineers involved in design industrial piping/pipelines.
· It is software tool, which could be handy calculator of pressure and temperature change along piping/pipeline.
· Piping can create network defined by branches and nodes with defined piping geometry/insulations and branch fluid flowrates also through branched piping.
· The PH software tool was established on the novel thermodynamic model of differential equations resolved using Runge-Kutta method.
· It allows to calculate simultaneously change of temperature and pressure along piping/pipeline with defined fluid flowrate and piping geometry including possible loss/gain of heat to the ambient. Piping/pipeline can be surrounded by ambient air, water or soil and piping/pipeline might be insulated by up to 3 layers.
· PH software has two build-in tools for automatic fluid phase identification (gas, liquid or two-phase flow) and associated fluid properties, e.g. density, viscosity, etc., calculation.
· Piping can be supplied with external heat source (steam or electric tracing). It also allows introducing ambient air, water or soil temperature along piping.
