QUICK HYDRAULICS - Flowsheet Simulator and Pressure Drops
Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP
Quick Hydraulics offers a low cost alternative for flowsheet simulation, heat and mass balances and pressure drop applications. Quick Hydraulics has a wide range of application in process design. Calculations utilize an integrated component database that includes detailed properties for more than
800 components. User specified distillation curves and pseudo components are handled with a properties generation routine. Heat and mass balances as well as flash calculations are carried out automatically. The user has a choice of thermodynamic options and calculation modules to cater for most process flowsheet simulations.Heat Exchangers - Use heat exchangers in your flowsheet simulations. Specify the number of tubes, passes etc and get the program to calculate the pressure drops. Checks on heat exchange area are also carried out.
Comprehensive fluid database and estimation technology - Quick Hydraulics contains detailed properties for over 800 components. Users can add distillation curves, pseudo components and user defined components. Equations of state include Ideal, Soave Redlich Kwong, Peng Robinson, Chao Seader and Grayson Streed. Fluids include: supercritical and other common gases, water, paraffins, olefins, dienes, naphthalenes and aromatics, sulphur containing organics, halogen containing organics, nitrogen containing organics, alcohols and phenolics, ketones and aldehydes, esters, ethers, organic acids, oxygen containing organics, inorganic acids and inorganic halogen components.
Pumps and Piping - Pipe calculations can be done as single or two phase flow, with or without heat loss. Pipe fittings, insulation and elevation changes are taken into account. Fittings can be combined to simulate manifolds based on database or user supplied resistance coefficients. Pump simulation with differential heads, discharge pressure and power is performed. User supplied pump curves can be entered.
Range of simulation modules - Flowsheet simulation is performed by graphically connecting process equipment modules. Hydraulics systems are drawn using flowsheets. The simulation modules include:
Piping, elbows and tees, reducers, valves (gate, globe, butterfly, plug), check valves, pumps, heating/cooling coils, compressors/expanders, vertical and horizontal vessels (gravity settlers), axial and radial flow packed beds, shell and tube heat exchangers, air cooler heat exchangers, fired tubular heaters, restriction orifices, relief valves, control valves, strainers, steam traps, stream modifiers, stream splitters (including flashing) and component splitters.
