PIPENET is a program for simulating fluid flow through pipe networks. It has standard, spray, and transient modules and allows initialization, adding libraries, defining the network and attributes, setting calculation controls, and viewing results.

PIPENET is used to enable the accurate simulation of the flow of fluid through a network of pipes and other components.

The full suite of PIPENET consists of the Standard Module, Spray Module, and Transient Module.

Pipenet

 The PIPENET program has been designed to


enable the accurate simulation of the flow of
fluid through a network of pipes and other
components.
 The full suite of program consists of the
following modules:
1. Standard Module For the analysis of the
single-phase flow of liquids and gases.
2. Spray Module For the analysis of fixed fire-
protection systems employing water.
3. Transient Module For the analysis of transient
flow in all types of network employing a liquid.
 There are a number of specific parts in
the user interface, which are as follows:
 Initialisation,
 Libraries,
 Network and attribute data (graphical or
text),
 Calculation controls,
 Viewing results.
Pressure Model
 There are two options for the Pressure Model; namely, the
Colebrook–White equation or the Coulson and Richardson
equation.

 There will be small numerical differences (in the calculated


pressure drop in a system between the two approaches.
Use pipe/duct elevations
 Each pipe or duct is assigned a change in elevation (rise) from
its input node to its output node. A reference node is selected,
and is assigned a reference height. The height of each node is
then calculated relative to the reference node.
 In a loop, the sum of the elevation changes must be zero.
However, if a rise is incorrectly entered, the elevation sum will
not be zero, and a height-check error will be reported.

Use node elevations


 The elevation of each node is directly entered as an attribute
of the node. Height-check errors cannot occur with this
method.
Orifice Plate Model
 Select one of the available options. Generally, for restriction
orifice plates, the recommended option is “Crane”.
1. BS1042
 If the BS1042 model is used, the restrictions of that standard are
applied, so plates may only be used in pipes with diameters in
the range 2–14 inches (50.8–355.6mm). Furthermore, for larger
pipes, the ratio of the orifice diameter to the pipe diameter must
be in the range 0.1 –0.748.
 This standard is intended mainly for modeling flow-metering
orifice plates, and it is very accurate in cases where the
pressure loss is low. However, it is not suitable for restriction
orifice plates.
2. Heriot-Watt
 If the "Heriot-Watt Orange Book" orifice plate model is used, the
ratio of the orifice diameter to the pipe diameter should be less
than 0.8. This is proprietary Sunrise Systems data.
3. Crane
 Orifice plates are modelled according to the Crane Technical
Paper 410. This approach is suitable for restriction orifice plates.
User defined Liquids
The density and viscosity must be supplied for a user-defined liquid.
For the following three cases, the density and viscosity can be defined as follows:

1. Liquid direct specification:


The values are supplied as constants.

2. Liquid property correlation:


 The values vary with temperature, and can be obtained
using the following correlation formulae:
Density:

Viscosity:

3. Liquid variable properties:


From a given set of tabular data for the density and viscosity against temperature, the density and
viscosity at a particular temperature, T, are obtained using linear interpolation.

4. Water:
Water properties require only temperature for fully define water in Pipenet.
Note that heat transfer mode is only active when fluid is water.
User-defined Gases
1. Steam,
2. Vander Waal’s Gas
3. Ideal Gas
4. Low pressure gas
5. Medium pressure gas

1. Steam
Steam properties are fully defined by providing only Temperature

2&3. Van der Waal’s Gas and Ideal Gas


 The user may define the gas to be either a Van der Waal’s Gas or an
Ideal Gas.
 In either case, the user must supply the molecular weight, critical
properties (i.e., temperature, pressure and volume) and ratio of specific
heat capacities (Gamma) for new fluids .
 Temperature only require for built in gas i.e(nitrogen,oxygen,etc)
Low pressure gas

1. Pole
 Good aproximation to smooth pipe flow law for pipe of 4 inch diameter or smaller
 Applicable to Partially turbulent flow
 It apply on low pressure distrubution header (0 to 0.075 barg)

2. Cox
 Pressure range> 5psi
 Velocity < 20 m/s in all pipes.
 Astimate low pressure drop as compared to Pole.
 Applicable to Partially turbulent flow
 It apply on medium and high pressure distribution (0.75 to 7 barg)

Medium Pressure Gas

2. Oliphant
 As per GPSA 13th Edition oliphant formula is used
for gas flow for pressure between vacuum and 690
kPa.
Pump
Quadratic Modeling Equations

The quadratic curve will, in general, only apply to the specified working range of
the pump; however, degeneration factors can be used to specify the behaviour
of the curve below the specified working range and/or above the specified
working range
Cubic Modeling Equations

 A simple quadratic curve can deviate considerably from the supplied pump
data, especially when the flow rate exceeds the pump capacity, or is less than
the allowed minimum flow rate. The cubic curve can provide better results.
Smooth Cubic Spline Modeling Equations

 The smooth curve uses cubic spline functions to fit a known pump curve. The
obtained curve is not only a smooth curve but also can closely match all input
data.
NPSH
 Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) is an analysis of the energy conditions on the suction side of
the pump to determine whether the liquid will vaporize at the lowest pressure point in the
pump. NPSH is measured in units of length.

 There are two components that must be considered for NPSH:

 NPSHR is defined as Net Positive Suction Head Required. NPSHR is a function of the design
of the pump, and is determined by the pump manufacturers via testing.

 NPSHA is defined as Net Positive Suction Head Available


= (Pi-Pvap)/pg
 If NPSHA < NPSHR then cavitation will happen.

Cavitation Parameter
 The cavitation parameter is a dimensionless ratio used to relate the conditions that inhibit
cavitation to the conditions that cause cavitation. There are several common forms of the
cavitation parameter. In PIPENET, the cavitation parameter is defined as:

 cavitation parameter = NPSHA / H

 where H is the total head of the pump.


Control Valves
 A valve may be characterised by one of three built-in models, which
requires either
(a) Kfactor and port area,
(b) flow coefficient (water at 20 C)
(c) a control-valve type.
Modelling Equation
 The modelling equation is either

Control Valve Considerations


 A control valve regulates flow or pressure in a network.
 The pressure drop across the control valve is dependent on the valve
setting, s, and the physical characteristics of the valve.
 The valve setting can either be specified directly by the user, or be
determined by PIPENET VISION such that a particular sensor reading
is satisfied. Three sensor types are available:
1. Pressure at a node - Pressure control,
2. Flow rate through a particular pipe - Flow control,
3. Pressure difference between two nodes - Differential pressure control.
 Pipe tools
Pipe Fittings
 Pipe fittings can be added in term of eith
pressure drops or K factor
Design Mode include (design and analyses mode)
 In the design case, one or more pipe sizes are left unset. PIPENET VISION will then
determine the pipe sizes based on either the maximum allowable pipe velocity or pressure drop
per unit length.
 In the design case, two sets of specifications need to be provided. One
set is for pipe sizing and the other is for the final analysis calculation.

 The conditions for pipe sizing may be different from the conditions for analysis. For example,
pipe sizing may be based on the summer operating conditions of the plant, whereas the analysis
may be based on the winter operating conditions.

 The following points apply.


 Design Phase: Supply a pressure specification to one input/output node, and then
supply flow-rate specifications to the other input/output nodes.
 Analysis Phase: Supply appropriate pressure and flowrate specifications so that the
total number of specifications is equal to the sum of the number of
input and output nodes.

Np is the number of pressure specifications,


Nf is the number of flowrate specifications,
Nio is the number of input/output nodes.

Analyses Mode
 Only analyses condition apply
