Mode summary for the F1 example simulation

Objective

Size relief valves based on required flow.

Size pipe diameters.

Calculate relief valve back pressures.

Sources

Specify required flow.

Specify required flow.

Relief Valves

Size relief valve by selecting a relief valve orifice letter designation.

Report the back pressure that AVEVA Process Simulation calculates by using the downstream piping.

Calculate the required fraction of relief valve capacity.

Pipes

Calculate approximate diameter.

Calculate downstream pressure.

Set inside diameter based on nominal pipe size.

Calculate upstream pressure from flow.

Check for choked flow.

Mixers

Set pressure to the minimum inlet pressures.

Set all outlet pressures to be the same as the inlet pressures.

Stack

Calculate pressure from upstream piping.

Set pressure to atmospheric pressure.
