FluidFlow v3.30 - FluidFlow

  • Added NEW settling slurry calculation method. 4-Component model based on a 2007 paper by Sellgren and Wilson.
  • Added NEW settling slurry calculation method. Liu Dezhong method.
  • For settling slurries, size distribution charts can now be viewed at the Supply Node(s).
  • Added the ability to Size Relief Valves and Bursting Discs to API520 or ISO4126
  • Flowsheet – Added the ability to drag an OpenPipe node to make a connection to any other node (provided node can accept another pipe connection) OR to drag an OpenPipe into an existing pipe.
  • Flowsheet – Added the ability to rotate any node, in 90° increments for ortho mode and in 30° increments for iso mode.
  • Flowsheet – Added the ability to store a flowsheet as a template. Templates can be inserted into existing networks and connected via drag connect.
  • Added a resources window, that connects back to website for examples and videos.
  • Improved the temperature and pressure range and the accuracy of the internal relationships used to predict air physical properties.
  • Expanded the pipe heat loss calculation method, to enable direct entry of U values. Full calculation of U value is also available.
  • Added Specific Heat Capacity, Flow Cross Sectional Area and Out Flow Cross Sectional Area to results table, flowsheet properties, fly-bys etc.
  • Data added for PE100 Polyethylene Pipes, Non Newtonian fluids (phosphate clays, red muds, fly ash, sugar processing fluids and various foodstuffs).
  • Created a Licence Manager that also gets installed with the software, allowing greater licence flexibility.
