Precise Computational Modeling for Gas Flow Systems

Features and Advantages

Comprehensive Fluid and Equipment Databases

Includes over 1,200 fluids and 800 equipment components, minimizing manual entry.
Easily add new fluids and components with detailed performance and limit information.
Includes resources for pipe materials, insulation, soil types, and manufacturer details.

FluidFlow’s powerful technology automatically sizes pipes, pumps, relief valves, and bursting disks to ISO and API standards. It selects the most economical pipe sizes based on physical properties, equipment, and energy costs. Choose from sizing methods like Economic Velocity, Velocity, or Pressure Gradient for optimal results.

Enables heat transfer analysis across all modules, including heat exchangers, pipes, and junctions. Model systems like shell and tube exchangers, plate exchangers, coils, and autoclaves with options for buried pipe calculations, heat loss/gain, fixed transfer rates, or temperature changes.

Use scripting for time-dependent simulations to analyze pressure changes, control strategies, pump performance, valve behavior, flare depressurization, and the effects of scale build-up on flow rates.

Gas Flow Behavior & Chart Analysis

Accurate Gas Flow Modeling for Precision Engineering

Gas flow within a pipeline is constantly changing due to variations in pressure and temperature. Unlike liquid systems, gas properties such as density, viscosity, and sonic velocity shift along the pipeline, impacting calculations. FluidFlow’s Gas Module applies specialized gas correlations with equations of state, ensuring the highest level of accuracy Visualize real-time density changes along pipe segments to avoid critical errors Prevent inaccurate results by using gas-specific methods instead of liquid pressure loss correlations
