Feature of the Month

System Energy Balance Provides More Information than the System Resistance Curve. (Part 3)

This article is a continuation of the Feature of the Month article from the June Issue, dealing with the Value of the System Resistance Curve. In this section 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.

FLO-Master Seminar - Software Training

Coming up in October we have two Piping System Fundamentals courses scheduled. Spaces are still available in both the Los Angeles, CA class and Atlanta, GA.

 

Need an excuse to go to LegoLand in San Diego or maybe for a trip to Johnson Space Center in Houston for this November? We've got one for you! Total Pump Training in San Diego, and Piping System Assessment & Optimization Training still has some available seats and we promise to let you out early enough to see the sights and enjoy whichever city you visit. Email training@eng-software.com to reserve your seat today.

 

Piping System Assessment & Optimization is based on the new ASME standard Energy Assessment for Pumping Systems Standard (ASME EA-2-2009) worth 24 Professional Development Hours.

 

If the Fall Schedule doesn't have a location near you or you are interested in hosting an onsite seminar, call 1-360-412-0702 or email us at training@eng-software.com and we will be happy to discuss your options.

Your Questions Answered

Ask an Engineer

Q. When I convert the standard flow rate of a gas to mass or volumetric, do I need to account for compressibility?

 

 

 

A. Yes and no. Oftentimes the compressibility factor (Z) is neglected (or really assumed to be unity) when performing such conversions, but you must understand the assumption that warrants its omission. Converting standard flows to mass or volumetric flows is typically done using rearrangements of the ideal gas equation. Therein lies the assumption; can the gas you are working with be approximated as an ideal gas under the operating temperature and pressure of the system? Read Full Answer
