GlobeValve_CL

 

 

This procedure provides a model of a globe valve.  The resistance coefficient for the valve is obtained from the procedure K_GlobeValve in the Heat Transfer & Fluid Flow library which uses the correlation published in:

Flow of Fluids Through Valves, Fittings, and Pipe, Crane Valves North America, Technical Paper No. 410M. 1979

Call GlobeValve_CL(F$, T_in, P_in, Conc, m_dot, D_out, RelRough, fo: DELTAP)

 

Inputs:

F$:    fluid string identifier

T_in:    inlet temperature (K, C, F, or R)

P_in:    inlet pressure (bar, atm, Pa, kPa, MPa)

Conc:    concentration (%) {applicable when F$ is a brine.  Otherwise this input is ignored.}

m_dot:   mass flow rate (kg/s or lbm/s)

D_out:    outlet diameter of valve (m or ft)

RelRough:  roughness of valve normalized by diameter (-)

fo:   ratio of the valve seat area to the outlet area (-).  As valve is closed fo will approach 0.

 

Outputs:

DELTAP:  pressure rise (bar, atm, Pa, kPa, or MPa)

 

Example:

$Load Component Library

$UnitSystem SI Mass C kPa J

$VarInfo DELTAP Units='kPa'

 

F$ = 'ATF'

T_in = 20 [C]

P_in = 200 [kPa]

m_dot = 0.02 [kg/s]

D_out = 0.005 [m]

RelRough = 0.001 [-]

fo = 0.2

CALL GlobeValve_CL(F$, T_in, P_in, 0 [%], m_dot, D_out, RelRough, fo: DELTAP)

 

 

{Solution:

DELTAP = 106.9 [kPa]

}
