Same pump, same flow, different fluids

This example is designed to show that a pump operating in any system will always deliver the same head (m Fluid), irrespective of the fluid pumped.

The power requirement will change as will system friction loss depending on the fluid physical properties.

The pdf report shows the flowsheet and tabular results (user definable).

Heat transfer and mixing in a recycle line

This network contains a pumped recycle loop with a second fluid (acetone at a higher temperature) which is added in the recycle line.

The pdf report contains the flowsheet only, but this has been adjusted to show all important results. In this case the complete design and operation can be communicated on one sheet of paper.

Steam distribution through a branched network

This example shows how steam flow is distributed through 4 laterals each containing a different resistance.

For steam flow we have elected to show the actual volumetric flow. Note how this increases as the steam pressure reduces and how density and temperature reduce.

FluidFlow3 works with real gases, the calculations do not make any simplifying assumptions such as ideal gas, adiabatic conditions, etc.

The pdf report shows the flowsheet and tabular results (user definable).

Fan operating performances

In this example we consider the performance of a fan at different suction pressures.

The delivery systems are identical, notice how actual volume flow and presure rise changes as a function of suction pressure.

Larger cooling water system

This example has 790 pipes and 733 nodes and represents the model of a cooling water system made before a plant expansion was made.
