Feature of the Month

How to Model a Counter Flow Heat Exchanger in PIPE-FLO Using X-Link

This month we look at how to deal with heat transfer calculations, or modeling both sides of a heat exchanger in one device since PIPE-FLO cannot specifically perform these calculations. We show you how a user can employ the existing PIPE-FLO tools, the component tool and the X-Link plug-in, to achieve this functionality.


First we will explore the difficulties of generating a system resistance for piping system with multiple destinations. We will also see how this type of system can be better understood using a Pump System Energy Balance.

Your Questions Answered

Ask an Engineer

Q. I just got my new version of the Crane TP-410 and I noticed different sets of equations to determine the same thing. Why are the equations for reducers in chapter 3 different from those found in chapter 2?

 

 

 

A. You are correct, there are different equations for reducers. The 2009 edition of the Crane TP-410 includes a new chapter, Chapter 3: Regulating Flow with Control Valves. This new chapter is based on the ANSI / ISA 75.01.01 standard, and as such, uses a different equation for the resistance (K) value of inlet reducers attached to a control valve than those used for pipeline reducers in Chapter 2 of the TP-410.
