First of all you have to read your global inbalances, and if your run target have been met. For example you can reach your maximun number of iteration, but your imbalances are not good enough or your RMS and MAX residual have not been met either. I usually define, as a convergence criteria, the...

I have been working on the wind load calculation of a Pressure vessel, the point is that the ASCE standard defines the procedure to find the wind load (lb) but in every pressure handbook they use the pressure on the vessel (psf) to feine the load on the pressure due to the wind. My doubt is how...

hey friends!! Which is the normal pressure drop in oil and gas separator designed by API 12 J???

Hey guys, I have been working in a oil- gas separator on CFX. The most difficult part has been the correct selection of the boundaries conditions. The inlet condition is the less difficult since I have the flow rates in that point, the hardest part are the oil outlet and the gas outlet, because...

which is the maximum recommended velocity o pressure gradient for a oil/water emulsion pipeline ?

can someone explain me the main difference between the standard 31.1 and the ASME SEC I... i´m very confused with them... yours truly JM

Hey dear friends it depends on the soil resistence. Hmax=1000*SR/SG SR: minimum SOil resistence (kg/cm2) SG: speciif gravity (non dimensioanl) hmax: mm

This project will be carry on in Colombia, and the information thaht i´m asking is about the horizontal distance.!!!! thanks

Wich is the allowable separation between a pipe and a high way ??.

I´m working on a fire system for a plant and the point is that i´ve read in the NFPA about jockey pump and I do understand that jochey pump work to maintain the pressure in the pipe line. So my doubt is about that in the project that I´m working they want to maintain the pressuere with a...

I´m working in a gas plant design and a co-worker is working with the fire line location, he wants to place the fire pipes in the pipe rack with other pipes. I was thinking that this piping arrange is not the most secure, because if I have an explosion in a tank, the explosion will destroy the...

I`m disiging a compresion plant, so i need to know wich standar aplly to design a gas compresion plant, for the facilities.

how can i get deep information about non nwtonian fluid flow?I have to design a piping system, but i haven`t found any information about how!!! what should i do to analize those kind of system? thanks

Which is the main difference between hisys and PRO II? Thanks!

Thanks, but don`t you think that an ASTM 240 Type 304 is too expensive for a sevice which doesn`t really need it,I mean Methanol is not a corrosive fluid!!! Best Regards!
