calculation, system description, system flow diagram, P&ID, SECOND STAGE-

design specification, procurement specification, erection specification, physical

design drawing, stress analysis, THIRD STAGE-field change request,

nonconformance report, start-up field report.

compressible flow in piping, and its application to steam, and sir system. Single

phase flow in nozzle, venture tubes and orifice. Steady two-phase flow –regimes,

models for two phase flow. Transient flow analysis. water hammer, pump NPSH

transient.

3. Piping Systems:

a. Water system piping, codes, design temperature, pipe sizing criteria, effect of

velocity, wall thickness selection, material.
