Genereaux Equation
Genereaux Equation
(OP)
Good afternoon,
I was reading an article in Chemical Engineering magazine that talked about how to calculate the optimum diameter for a pipe, and it talked about a "Generaux Equation." I was not able to find information on the equation or about the factors. Anyone have information?

I got the article published on january 2010. But I still have question about the factors.

Not that you've been much precise about your doubts, anyway you can give a shot to
Coulson & Richardson's chemical engineering: Chemical engineering design By R. K. Sinnott, John Metcalfe Coulson, John Francis Richardson (page 219 and on).

RE: Genereaux Equation
My questions are basically on how the factors was estimated (eg "a": annual depreciation on the pipeline, "Le'":factor for friction in fitting), if the equation can be used for any pumping system (centrifugal pumps, rotative pumps, etc), what are the restrictions?
Moreover, i have a question about the validity of the equation, because in the article there is a reference to the Chemical Engineer's Handbook, but in the version I have it does not appear. That makes me think that maybe today ít is no longer applicable.
