Can anyone offer suggestions of how to model the supporting of a pipe that is laid on the ground? Even though we are solely interested in the expansion case, I need to properly input the weight and the ground support/friction to get realistic results for the expansion displacements. I have...
I am looking for information on sizing vapour ducting under a vacuum. The saturated vapour pressures range from -5 psig to -12 psig. Is there an acceptable flow velocity that should be used for sizing? I use 80-120 ft/s for steam piping sizing, however, this produces excessively large vapour...
