  2. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.

  3. Entrance length (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_length_(fluid...

    In fluid dynamics, the entrance length is the distance a flow travels after entering a pipe before the flow becomes fully developed. [1] Entrance length refers to the length of the entry region, the area following the pipe entrance where effects originating from the interior wall of the pipe propagate into the flow as an expanding boundary layer.

    Couette flow – Model of viscous fluid flow between two surfaces moving relative to each other; Effusive limit; Free molecular flow – Gas flow with a relatively large mean free molecular path; Incompressible flow – Fluid flow in which density remains constant; Inviscid flowFlow of fluids with zero viscosity (superfluids)

  5. Flow conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_conditioning

    In all testing the common requirement was a fully developed flow profile entering the orifice plate. [8] Accurate standard compliant meter designs must therefore ensure that a swirl free, fully developed flow profile is impinging on the orifice plate. There are numerous methods available to accomplish this.

  6. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    For flow in a pipe of diameter D, experimental observations show that for "fully developed" flow, [n 2] laminar flow occurs when Re D < 2300 and turbulent flow occurs when Re D > 2900. [13] [14] At the lower end of this range, a continuous turbulent-flow will form, but only at a very long distance from the inlet of the pipe. The flow in between ...

    To do this, it is critical to demonstrate the physical sequence of equipment and systems, as well as how these systems connect. P&IDs also play a significant role in the maintenance and modification of the process after initial build. Modifications are red-penned onto the diagrams and are vital records of the current plant design.

  8. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

    In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

  9. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
