Abstract

In this study, to avoid surging in the system as a way to ensure the proper discharge requires the design of the valve capacity rating objective is to develop a program. Approximation algorithm for the capacity evaluation is suggested. Loss coefficients obtained by the algorithm is calculated put in the governing equation for the valve flow coefficient and capacity. Calculated values were compared with numerical analysis results for the verifying their validity. The proven formula is created using Excel and it can be easily available the valve design engineers. Creation of analysis models were using a version of Unigraphics NX 4.0, numerical analysis were using a flow analysis commercial program ANSYS CFX 12.0 version. Equations were referenced 'Handbook of Hydraulic Resistance - 3rd Edition'.
