Why must piping system pressure drops be maintained?

July 29, 2015

Piping system pressure drops must be maintained within reasonable values to limit the installed size of the system pumps and their prime movers.

What is dynamic head?

July 27, 2015

Dynamic head is the equivalent height of a fluid that is to be pumped, taking into account the friction losses in the pipe.

What is system static head?

July 21, 2015

System static head is the internal energy of fluid due to the pressure exterted on its container.

In regards to backflow, what is back syphonage?

Back Syphonage is an open system connected to a closed system and the pressure in the closed system falls below atmospheric pressure so then the open system can force fluid into a closed system.

In regards to the syphon effect, what conditions are backflow or reverseflow caused by?

Backflow or Reverseflow is caused through back syphonage or back syphonage.

In regards to backflow, what is back pressure?

Back Pressure is a high pressure system cross connected with a lower pressure system where the high pressure system can force fluid into the low pressure system.

In regards to the syphon effect, what is the syphon principle?

July 14, 2015

The syphon principle is a system in which syphon principle is employed to carry water through elevated parts.

What is the first critical value of piping size criteria?

The first critical value of piping size criteria is allowable pressure drop for the entire network.

In regards to the fifth step of the hardy cross method which is to add pseudo loops what does this step entail?(

To add pseudo loops in the Hardy Cross method, you should add psuedo loops as required.

In regards to the fourth step of the hardy cross method which is to assign direction what does this step entail?

To assign direction, you should assign base direction and indicate whether to go clockwise or counterclockwise.

In regards to the third step of the hardy cross method which is the number system, what does this step entail?

July 8, 2015

In the number system in the Hardy Cross Method, you should assign complete numbers of the entire system.

What does the hardy cross method determine?

The Hardy Cross Method determines flow inside the piping network.

In regards to the first step of the hardy cross method which is to determine flow what does this step entail?

To determine the flow in the Hardy Cross Method, you should create a skeleton drawing of network.

In regards to the second step of the hardy cross method which is to number loops what does this step entail?

To number loops in the Hardy Cross Method, you should number all loops in the sequence in arbitrary fashion.

What are branching pipes?

Branching pipes are pipes that do not run parallel or in series.

What is the goal in head loss calculation?

July 2, 2015

The goal in head loss calculation is to economically transport fluid.

What does it mean when two-pipe systems are said to be equivalent?

Two-pipe systems are said to be equivalent when same head loss produces the same discharge in both systems.

What are power piping systems intended to convey?

Power piping systems are intended to convey steam and water.

What is series piping?

Series piping has the same fluid flowing through all the piping and head losses are cumulative.

What do power piping systems refer to?

Power piping systems refer to piping within facility intended to generate electricity.
