Syllabus - Process Piping Design (CM 802 (A))

Classification of Pipes and Tube

IS & BS codes for pipes used in chemical process industries and utilities. Pipes of circular and non-circular cross section-velocity distribution, average velocity and volumetric rate of flow. Flow through curved pipes (Variable cross sections). Pressure drop for flow of Newtonian fluids through pipes. Resistance to flow and pressure drop. Effect of Reynolds and apparent Reynolds number. Recommended design methods.

Non-Newtonian Time Independent/Dependent Fluid Flow

Flow through Process pipes, Shear stress, Shear rates behavior, apparent viscosity and its shear dependence, Power law index, Yield stress in fluids. Recommended design methods. Time dependant behavior, Mechanical analogues, and velocity pressure relationships for fluid, line. Recommended design methods.

Pipe line Design and Power Losses in vertical Flow

Flow of gas-liquid, liquid- liquid, gas-solid and liquid-solid mixtures in pipes, flow pattern, holdup, pressure gradients and empirical overall correlations, bubble flow pattern, slug flow pattern, annular mist flow pattern Recommended design methods.

Pipe Line Design and Power Losses in Horizontal Flow

Flow of gas-liquid, liquid- liquid, gas-solid and liquid-solid mixtures in pipes, flow pattern, holdup, pressure gradients and empirical overall correlations, bubble flow pattern, slug flow pattern, annular mist flow pattern, Lockhart Martinelli relations, Flow pattern regimes. Recommended design methods, Case studies.
