Piping Systems FluidFlow3 - Design and Simulation Software

A truly original software program for the design and optimization of pipe networks, transporting compressible, incompressible, gas-liquid two phase, settling slurries or non-Newtonian fluids.

The efficient and accurate modelling of your networks is essential for the design of energy efficient, safe, reliable flow systems that are easy to operate and maintain.

This product is used successfully in many diverse industries to model new and existing systems, size pipes, select boosters, controllers and other fluid equipment.

Example FluidFlow Networks

Same pump, same flow, different fluids		Heat transfer and mixing in a recycle line
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)		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		Fan operating performance
This example shows how steam flow is distributed through 4 laterals each containing a different resistance. The pdf report shows the flowsheet and tabular results (user definable). 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. FluidFlow works with real gases, the calculations do not make any simplifying assumptions such as ideal gas, adiabatic conditions etc.		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. The pdf report shows the flowsheet and tabular results.
