Learn to size pumps and model piping systems & valves, calculate pressure drop through fittings, valves and components

What you’ll learn

Modeling of piping systems, components, fittings and valves for incompressible fluid.

Understand the Darcy equation, resistance coefficient (K), friction factor (f), flow coefficient (Cv), and orifice design.

Identify and understand the basic components of a pump and calculate pumps Hydraulic Horsepower , Brake Horsepower , Pump Efficiency, Motor Power & Motor Eff.

Understand pump curves for different impeller speeds (or diameters), pump efficiency curves, pump NPSHr curves and Power consumption curves.

Develop a roadmap for proper selection of pumps via excel macros and model resistance in series for a piping system.

Understand inherent valve curves, different types of control valves, valve authority, and size valves appropriately for a given system.

Requirements

While having prior engineering or field knowledge is desirable, it is not necessary for this course. The course is designed to explain all concepts in a clear and understandable language, allowing students to develop their knowledge from the basics.

No prior Excel macros knowledge required. Everything will be taught in this course.
