Course content
The course is focused on complex problematics of piping technology. In scope of the course are discussed an elementary topic which are need for successful design of piping system - hydraulics of piping system, structural design of pipes, thermal design of pipes, armatures selection, design of pipeline, design of pipes supports, material selection and more. Lectures: 1. Piping systems overview - basic nomenclature of piping technology, composition of piping systems, application of piping technology in industry 2. Theoretical background of fluid mechanics for piping technology - fluid parameters, fluid flow, Reynolds number, Bernoulli equation, continuity equation, characteristic numbers, Moody chart, pressure loses 3. Fluid flow in pipes I. - pressure and energetic distribution in pipe systems, practical assessment of pressure loses, pipeline characteristic, simple piping systems 4. Fluid flow in pipes II. - pump operation in piping systems, pump characteristics, operation point of piping system, complex piping system 5. Fluid flow in pipes III. - transients in piping systems and their solution, water hammer in pipes, software solution of piping systems 6. Structural computations of pipes and fittings, pipe connection - creep, materials for pipes 7. Thermal calculation and design of pipe thermal insulation - calculation of pipe heat losses, insulation materials 8. Pipe supports - methods of pipe supports, thermal dilatation compensation, auxiliary steel construction, design of hangers and supports 9. Armatures I. - closing valves, check valves, drain valves 10. Armatures II. - safety valves, regulation valves, valves actuators 11. Pipelines design methodology - pipelines project design documentation, software for pipeline design 12. Practical examples of pipeline design and performance in industrial branches - piping systems in power industry, piping system in process industry, piping system in HVAC 13. Complex design of piping systems I. - design of cooling cycle 14. Complex design of piping systems II. - design of pipeline for long distance transport of fluid Practical's: 1. Basic of pipe design - PID diagram creation 2. Repetition from fluid mechanics - fluid flow, continuity equation, Reynolds number 3. Calculation of pressure loses of simple piping system 4. Piping system characteristic - working point determination, selection of pump 5. Simulation of water hammer, computation of piping grids 6. Pipe selection - calculation of pipe wall thickness, pipe material section 7. Pipe insulation selection - calculation of insulation thickness, insulation material selection 8. Design of pipeline, support selection 9. Selection of closing valve 10. Selection of regulation valve, selection of safety valve 11. Piping system documentation 12. Final work tutorial 13. Final work tutorial 14. Final work tutorial
