Mode summary for the RR1 example simulation

Purpose

Initially size the vacuum transfer line by determining the required diameter for each pipe as you construct the simulation in the direction of flow.

Rate the vacuum transfer line for a given piping design with a specified size and length and modify the design as needed.

Source

Specify required flow.

Specify pressure.

Specify required flow.

Calculate pressure.

Pipe

Calculate pipe diameter given a specified pressure drop.

Sets the Size parameter accordingly.

Set inside diameter based on nominal pipe size.

Calculate pressure drop and velocity.

Mix

Set pressure to the minimum inlet pressure.

Set all inlet and outlet pressures to be the same.

Enlarger

Calculate pressure drop recovery based on inlet and outlet diameter.

Calculate pressure drop recovery based on inlet and outlet diameter.

Sink

Calculate pressure in the vacuum column flash zone from upstream pipes.

Specify pressure in the vacuum column flash zone.
