Hydraulic design
Hydraulic design
The hydraulic design includes some steps
must be done to find the best design
&these steps are:

RE 2
Effect of the inner roughness of
the pipe
The inner roughness of the pipe can create eddy currents. This
increases the friction between the pipe wall and the fluid. The
relative roughness of the inside of the pipe is used in
.determining the friction factor to be used

where
z = height above reference level
v = average velocity of fluid
P = pressure of fluid
W= specific weight
HL12 = head loss due to fluid friction
.The velocity across the pipe is constant because the area is constant
P= Operating Pressure
Test pressure = operating pressure* factor of safety
We always take the factor of safety about 1.5
We select the suitable grade from the API 5l & calculate the test
pressure to choose the suitable thickness & inner diameter to stand
this test pressure the api5l
This equation, called the Barlow formula, is the basis for most code
stress pipe wall-Thickness calculations such as those provided in ASME
B31.1 and B31.3.The formula also applies to thick-walled pipe

These steps will be repeated for each diameter from the range of
diameter in order to make it easier we use program by visual basic to
solve this problem and get more accurate
Computer program
The program in this case will make the
hydraulic design for any pipeline but some
information must be given
