About the course
Pipe flow with special focus on design of pipe systems containing pumps, valves and geometric changes such as bends and transitions.
Expected learning outcomes
After completing the course, the participant will
- Be familiar with calculations of pressure losses in piping systems and how these can be minimized.
- Be able to dimension pipe systems with associated pump based on given conditions in the form of required flow rate
- Be able to design valves for use in piping systems in accordance with current European standards.
Course structure
The course is mainly given digitally through the learning management system Canvas. In Canvas, the following course material is available
- A compendium where the underlying theory is presented
- Three recorded lectures
- A collection of problems with theoretical tasks that enable the students to test their understanding of the elements included in the course.
In addition to the digital material in Canvas, a calculation exercise will also be held via Teams where participants can ask questions.
As part of the course's examination, submission of theoretical calculations is included. The calculations cover tasks from the problem collection and serve as a basis for the laboratory part (see below).
Finally, a laboratory session will take place at LTU where the student participates physically. The laboratory is divided into two parts:
- Pipe flow - experimental investigation of pressure losses in pipe systems.
- Pump characteristics - experimental investigation of the performance of a pump.
After completing the course, the participant receives a certificate.
