The module does the heavy lifting for you:
- Accommodate a wide range of slurry data
- Predict slurry wavespeed
- Enter properties of solids particles and keep them in a sharable database
- Evaluate multiple design and operating cases using Scenario Manager
- Use state-of-the-art correlations to predict flow and initial pressure distribution to initialize the transient
Modeling Features:
- Specify Slurries:
- Basic Water Slurry Input – uses water as the carrier fluid and treats all pipes as isothermal
- Advanced Slurry Input – use any fluid as the carrier fluid, allow slurry properties to vary among pipes, and allow heat transfer and system energy balance calculation
- Choose from three slurry calculation methods:
- Minimal – can be used in the preliminary design phase
- Simplified – additional information is required and gives a better solution
- Detailed – (default) provides the most rigorous solution methodology
- Calculate wavespeed based on properties of carrier liquid and solid particles
