Calculate temperature at the bottom of pipe supports and heat loss rate
Pipes transporting hot media are insulated to reduce heat loss and maintain the required process conditions.
Causes and mitigation of thermal bowing in process piping design
The authors encountered pipe thermal bowing problems in recently executed projects. These practical problems are discussed in three case studies, after a brief description of the thermal bowing concept and common reasons for the occurrence of this phenomenon.
Calculate thermal growth of a fractionation tower for piping engineering
The fractionation tower/column is common processing equipment in the petroleum refinery and chemical industry.
