Piping design, a subfield of mechanical engineering, focuses on fluid transportation and routing.
Design Considerations:
- Materials, pressure, routing, layers, and environmental compatibility.
- Systems include valves, pumps, tanks, and other hydraulic equipment.
Structural Support:
- Piping requires structural frameworks (e.g., skids) to handle static and dynamic stresses.
- Skids ensure accessibility for operators and withstand environmental conditions like earthquakes or wind.
CFD Integration:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis identifies cavitation, pressure losses, and flow behavior, enabling detailed designs and minimizing potential issues during manufacturing.
