Why is it called hydraulic calculation
Thread Content
In pipeline design, it is often necessary to calculate gas pipelines and liquid pipelines, and hydraulic calculations are mentioned in many contexts. What is hydraulic calculation, and why is it called a “hydraulic” calculation? Do hydraulic calculations also need to be performed for the design of gas pipeline systems? How should this be calculated? Thank you all for your advice.
In the design of ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as hot water heating and water supply and drainage systems, the pipe diameters and resistances for various sections of the pipeline network are determined based on the required flow rates. The hydraulic characteristics of the pipeline network are thus established, which lays the foundation for selecting the appropriate power equipment; this in turn helps determine the model of the power equipment and its energy consumption； Or, based on the designated power equipment, determine the pipe size to ensure proper flow distribution. It is the basic method for designing fluid distribution networks, and it serves as the fundamental guarantee for the quality of such network designs. This is hydraulic calculation.
Call it generally, or maybe fluid dynamics calculations?
