Download Pipe Sizing & Pressure Drop Engineering 2025
Pipe Sizing & Pressure Drop Engineering, A Practical Course for Engineers on Sizing Pipes for Water, Steam & Air using Real-World Calculations and Examples download. This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. You will learn the simple yet powerful velocity method to get a quick, preliminary pipe size. Then, we dive deep into the core of pressure drop theory, mastering the Darcy-Weisbach equation for friction (major) losses and both the K-Value and Equivalent Length methods for fittings and valves (minor losses).
What you’ll learn
- Calculate the correct pipe diameter for liquids and gases using the velocity method.
- Apply the Darcy-Weisbach equation to accurately calculate pressure drop from pipe friction (Major Losses).
- Determine pressure losses from fittings and valves using both the K-Value and Equivalent Length methods (Minor Losses).
- Read a Moody Diagram to find a precise friction factor for any pipe material, including steel and HDPE.
- Perform a complete, start-to-finish pressure drop calculation for a real-world piping system
- Understand how to select the right valves and fittings to design energy-efficient piping systems.
- Recognize the complexities of two-phase flow and know when to apply advanced methods.
