1. Modeling a Cooling Tower
   A cooling tower can be modeled in PIPE-FLO and Flow of Fluids software by using a tank. A typical cooling tower is shown in Figure 1 below: Figure 1: Typical Cooling Tower Below in Figure 2 is a schematic that shows how the cooling tower can be modeled in PIPE-FLO or Flow of Fluids. Figure 2: ...
2. Speed of Efflux (Discharge) for a Tank
   The velocity of fluid when draining a tank is frequently referred to as Speed of Efflux. This article will discuss PIPE-FLO's method of calculation and how to appropriately model this scenario. It also covers why (when modeled correctly) PIPE-FLO calculates the equivalent velocity as Torricell ...
3. Modeling a Tank with Multiple Penetrations
   Often a single tank will have multiple penetrations. The PIPE-FLO tank, spray demand, and pressure demand objects support a single pressure and or level value. A tank with multiple penetrations can be easily modeled with multiple tanks and demands. In this article we will see how to model a ...
