Temperature, pressure and force results from Simulation CFD can be applied to Simulation Mechanical to determine stress and displacement results on components containing the fluid flow. Examples of CFD problems can be specialized heat transfer jacket problems and visualizing agitator mixing action. It’s a method to predict how the equipment will react to real-world loads.Ĭomputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) predicts fluid flows and heat transfer through a specified geometry. The scenario will determine how a piece of equipment – single part or assembly – will react to stress, temperature, fatigue and other physical effects. Fire: Calculate required vapor flow rate for liquid filled (wetted) or gas filled (unwetted) vessels using API 521 5. Pressure drop calculations are also performed on this software.įinite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)įinite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computerized method for predicting results from a complex scenario. Steam: ASME Section VIII code API 520 part I, 9th edition, non-code API 520 Part I, ASME section I and ISO4126-7, 2nd edition sizing methods 4. Heat transfer calculation are performed using two In-House Programs which determine the required area of the heat transfer jackets to assure the heating and cooling requirements can be achieved.
ASME Code Calculations are performed in Compress to verify that stresses are within the limits specified in Section VIII, Division I. HOLLOWAY Engineers use several types of software to verify equipment designs.
