Drag Reducing Agent (DRA) is used in pipelines to reduce flow losses and increase efficiency.  Simcenter Flomaster 2304 introduces new capabilities when modelling DRA to account for the degradation of the fluid and the effect of efficiency vs agent concentration.  

BENEFITS

• • • • Capture he behaviour of DRA in the fluid flow

      • Quickly understand how degradation behaves along the pipeline and investigate different concentrations

      • Enable complex batched flow simulation to be performed with DRA

      • Additional inputs and results to ease model evaluation

A new two-phase tank model has been added, this allows tanks storing two-phase and cryogenic fluids to be modelled. Model heat transfer to the surroundings for long term thermal storage circuits to be modelled. The tanks enable two-phase materials to be stored for later use.

BENEFITS

• • • • The tanks enable two-phase materials to be stored for later use, some examples of this include:

        • • Hydrogen fuel storage / transport

          • Liquified fluids for energy storage (Air / Hydrogen etc.)

      • Model heat transfer to the surroundings for long term thermal storage

Simcenter Flomaster 2304 includes two new Separator components to be used in two phase circuits.  

These are 

• • • • A perfect separator separator

      • A demister pad type separator

BENEFITS

• • • • Provide the capability to separate two-phase material into a drier and a wetter fluid

      • Requirement for many industrial processes to ensure the correct quality enters machinery

• Model Heat Transfer between the Liquid-Gas interface

BENEFITS

• • • • Account for heat transfer between liquid and gas in the tank

• Model two-phase flows with additional correlations including Bhagwat–Ghajar Circular, Bhagwat–Ghajar Non-Circular, Chexel-Lellouche Steam-Water 

BENEFITS

• • • • Calculate two phase flows using the most appropriate correlation

• Model open channel flows

• Evaluate the effect of changes of channel profile and dimension

• Account for channel slope as either a constant or using a profile

BENEFITS

• • • • Modelling of open channel flows in a familiar modelling environment

      • Quick understanding of how changes can affect flows and levels

      • Direct reporting of Critical Depth and Velocity

• Model physics not included in standard models using scripted-n-arm components

• Know the parameter index number when building components

• Units and signal names propagate to components

BENEFITS

• • • • Build components with more confidence

      • Easier reuse by others as signals and names propagate correctly

• Model T and Y Junctions with equal areas 

• Curve only components

BENEFITS

• • • • Reduce interpolation in loss calculations when matching to test data.
