This specific course entitled “Single-Phase Pipe Sizing & Pipe Networks” is intended to predict the pipe diameter based on the given process requirement when a single-path or multiple-path piping system is subjected to a single-phase fluid flow such as liquid or gas. The necessary concepts of single-phase fluid flow through pipes, pipe fittings, and valves are covered, and mathematical expressions are derived to understand the intricacy of the single-phase phenomena in piping systems for both steady and transient including surge and water hammer. Demonstrated the single-phase piping phenomena and optimum pipe diameter prediction by solving practical problems.
