Flowing Pipeline Hydraulics
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, you will learn about calculating flowing pipeline hydraulics, including flow rate and friction factor, relative roughness and Reynold’s number, pressure drop, converting pressure profiles to hydraulic profiles and finding interface head and hydraulic gradient; how vapor pressure affects pipeline pressure, backpressure requirements in static and flowing pipelines, maximum operating pressure, and pipeline surge or “hammer”.
