Simulation software is a computer program that allows users to create a virtual model of a real-world system or process. This model can be used to study the behavior of the system or process under different conditions, without having to actually build or operate the system or process in the real world. There are many simulation softwares available for chemical engineering. Some … [Read more...]
Pump Specific Speed Calculation
Pump Specific speed is a dimensionless number used in design. Specific speed is used to find out the geometry of the impellers and it is helpful in identifying the type of impeller to be selected for particular application. Formula for Calculation of Pump Specific Speed Specific speed of the pump is calculated with the help of the formula: Ns = (N * √Q )/ … [Read more...]

Centrifugal Pump Efficiency Calculation
Centrifugal pump efficiency is the ratio of Hydraulic power delivered by the pump to the brake horsepower supplied to the pump. Hydraulic Power (Power Output from Pump): Centrifugal Pump consumes energy to develop the discharge pressure and to deliver flow. Therefore Hydraulic Horsepower of the Pump depends on these two parameters. Power Output from Pump = (P2 – P1) * … [Read more...]
Flash Steam Recovery Calculation
What is Flash Steam? Flash Steam is the steam formed whenever hot condensate at high pressure and temperature is allowed to drop into a low pressure side. It is formed by boiling of the condensate which contains more heat than it can hold at that low pressure. Most Common Sources of Flash Steam recovery in a Chemical Process Industry includes Blow Down from Boilers and … [Read more...]
