Applications for Pipe Flow Calculator

Pipe Flow Calculator simulates flow of liquid and gases through a piping network. It analyzes and solves a wide range of problems where the flow and pressure losses throughout a pipe network must be determined. It allows you to draw complex pipeline system.

The pressure losses within the system are calculated using friction factors obtained from the Colebrook-White equation, and the friction pressure loss for each pipe is obtained from the Darcy-Weisbach equation. It does an initial estimate of the flow through each pipe and then iterate these flow conditions as per the friction factor.

Pipe Flow Calculator provides the balanced steady flow and pressure conditions of the system. Results reported includes :

  • Head and Pressure at Each Node
  • Flow rates for each pipe
  • Fluid velocities for each pipe
  • Reynold's Number
  • Friction factor for each pipe
  • Pressure Drop across the pipe
