Download Product Sheet AFT Arrow Calculate Compressible Flow Pressure Drop and Flow Distribution is a fluid dynamic simulation tool used to calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in gas piping and ducting systems. Designed for compressible flow systems containing steam, compressed air, chemical and petrochemical process gases, natural gas transport, and more, AFT Arrow is an indispensable tool to help you tackle your most challenging systems…..
- Accurately simulate individual components and their interaction including effects of heat transfer, real gases and choked flow
- Tightly integrate equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system™s schematic representation
- Utilize a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
- Compare the performance of new designs and assure all design requirements are met.
- Identify and correct operational problems in installed systems
- Significantly improve the quality of systems engineering and produces less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems
Primary Features of AFT Arrow:
- Apply advanced marching methods which provide highly accurate results
- Evaluate choking conditions and determine flow conditions downstream of choke points
- Model fans and compressors, control valves, heat exchangers and other components with precise detail
- Specify relief valve behavior with opening and closing profiles to ensure your system fails safely
- Track all your design variants and potential operating conditions in a single file with Scenario Manager
- Use integrated, customizable graphing and reporting to make analysis visually intuitive
- Calculate the capital costs of pipes and components as well as operating energy expenses
Leverage built-in libraries of fluids and fittings to build your own database upon- Built-in libraries of fluids (including NIST REFPROP and ASME Steam Tables) and fittings which can be extended and customized
- Purchase the Optional Chempak database which provides a thermophysical database of almost 600 gases. SteamCalc and Chempak Viewers are included in the software for free.
- Define non-reacting pre-mixtures, and simulate dynamic flow mixing
- Import piping layouts from CAESAR II® Neutral files, PCF Files, and GIS shapefiles regardless of source.
- Integrate with Excel to import model data and export output data.
- Ensure a design adheres to industry standards such as API 526, ANSI/ISA-75.01.01 and more.
