The following table provides a summary of the simulation operation in all three modes:
|
Process |
Fluid Flow |
Dynamic |
|
|
Purpose |
Size pipes for required flow rates. Check exchanger outlet temperatures. |
Determine the actual flow rate distribution though the network. |
Not used. |
|
Pump |
Operates at estimated pressure rise. |
Operates on its performance curve. |
|
|
Pipes |
Calculate diameters to check nominal pipe size requirements. |
Set inside diameters based on nominal pipe size. |
|
|
Mixer |
Set pressure to the minimum of inlet pressures. |
Operate at a pressure balanced state. All inlet and outlet pressures are the same. |
|
|
Heat Exchangers |
Specify the required flow. Check the outlet temperature. |
Calculate actual flow based on reference conditions. |
