We need to know the amount of energy required for operation. Then, how to know it? We can calculate how much the cooling and heating medium, fuel, etc. is needed through heat (or energy) balance. So, it is an important step. In this episode, we introduce heat (or energy) balance without reaction and how to calculate it through an example.
In the presence of a reaction, materials are generated or consumed before and after the reaction, so information related to the reaction is necessary when calculating mass (or material) balance. In this episode, we explore information about chemical reactions and then discuss how to calculate mass balance with reactions through examples.
The piping system is an element that connects equipment to equipment and is very important in a plant. In this episode, we introduce pipes among piping systems. Learn about the basics of pipes and discuss the criteria for determining the inner diameter. Finally, we explain how to obtain the friction factor to calculate the friction loss.
Due to various advantages such as wide measuring range and stability, RTD sensors are one of the most common thermometers in the industry. In this episode, we explain the working principle and types of RTD sensors, as well as some specifications when selecting them.
Various devices are required to form one instrumentation system. Also, depending on the situation, the number may vary. In this episode, we describe the components of the instrumentation system and introduce how to transmit signals.
When we check the pump’s performance, we often find the pump’s capacity and head. And when we design a pump system to avoid cavitation, we calculate the NPSH. In this episode, we describe the concept of head, the type of head in the pump, and NPSH.
As the plant industry becomes more advanced, the importance of instrumentation is increasing. This episode introduces the concept of instrumentation and choosing instruments. Finally, the general characteristics of instruments are described.
A pump is equipment that transports fluid. So how much does energy need to move the fluid to the desired location? In this episode, we briefly describe the Bernoulli equation and use this equation to explain the calculation of pump work. Finally, we explain the type of pumps.
In this episode, we introduce mass (or material) balance. Mass balance is one of the basic stages of plant design. And it can be utilized in various situation. Therefore, it helps when you enjoy other contents. This episode presents the principle of mass balance and how to calculate it with an example.
