Pumps, compressors and piping design for process fluids.
Pipes, valves, pumps, compressors and instruments move fluids safely; design includes line sizing for pressure drop and velocity, pump selection (NPSH), control valves, relief valves and materials. Slurry and non-Newtonian flow need special treatment.
A process pump with a control valve downstream regulates flow in a plant.
Plant fluid handling involves pumps, compressors and piping, which must deliver the right flows and pressures safely and reliably.
Pumps, compressors and piping design for process fluids.
Plant fluid handling involves pumps, compressors and piping, which must deliver the right flows and pressures safely and reliably.
Flow, head, fluid viscosity, temperature, corrosiveness and whether the liquid contains solids or gas.
Hot process lines expand, and without supports or loops they can overstress nozzles and equipment.
Typical applications include selecting a pump for a corrosive process liquid, sizing a compressor for a gas recycle loop and designing the piping of a plant to avoid cavitation and vibration.
Study "Mass transfer" first (topic 88 of 100 in Materials & Chemical). It covers the groundwork this topic builds on.
Economic pipe diameter. Two-phase flow. Valve Cv.
A process pump with a control valve downstream regulates flow in a plant.
The next topic is "Process control in chemical plants", which builds directly on this one.
It is classed as Advanced in Materials & Chemical (topic 89 of 100). It is an advanced topic. It assumes you are comfortable with the intermediate topics in Materials & Chemical.
