In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, what is energy?
Energy is capacity for work by system through work having previously done. When work has been done producing change in motion, position or molecular conditions, system has acquired capacity for work.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, what is viscosity?
Viscosity is resistance of fluid to shear stress, the boundary between fluid and container.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, what is the law of equilibrium?
The Law of Equilibrium is when a body is at rest, the external forces acting upon it must be in equilibrium and there must be zero net moment on the body.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, what is the formula for Net Pressure Suction Head?
Net Pressure Suction Head is Net (left over) + pressure of suction force into pump intake after friction loss. Liquid head height or liquid head pressure + gravity pressure – friction loss = net head of pressure force into pump.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, how is head defined?
August 18, 2014
Head is defined as the amount of mechanical energy per unit weight.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, how is head loss defined?
Head loss is due to friction between pipe and fluid in the pipe.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, why is pressure monitored?
Pressure is monitored to prevent state change, and determine overall fluid velocity.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, why does pressure loss occur?
Press Loss occurs due to bends, elbows, joints, valves and form losses.

In regards to fluid properties in the piping system, what are the types of flow rate?
The two types of flow rate are mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate.

In regards to fluid properties, defines couples?
August 14, 2014
Couples are 2 parallel forces of equal magnitude acting in opposite directions.

In regards to fluid properties, what are simple forces?
Simple forces are 2 + forces that act upon a body at 1 point. These can be single or combined.

In regards to fluid properties, define moment?
A Moment or the moment of force with respect to given point is tendency of force to produce rotation around it. Positive is a clockwise direction. Negative is a counterclockwise direction.

Why are material considerations important for design basis regarding pipe supports?
Material related considerations are chemical, metallurgical, and physical properties.They are important factors because the piping system’s material constituents determine suitability for particular services.
Read More
Material in pipes can be gas, liquid or vapor. Describe the fluid properties of gas.
Gas is a fluid that expands to fill a vessel. It is compressed easily and it will change in pressure with any change in volume or density.

Describe the loading conditions for design basis regarding pipe supports.
August 6, 2014
Loads are parameters that affect state of stress of the piping system. For example forces, moments, pressure changes, temperature changes and thermal gradients.
Why are environmental factors important for design basis regarding pipe supports?
Operating conditions that result in progressive physical/chemically induced deterioration of piping system lead to breach of pressure boundary and structural failure.

What are the parameters that govern physical attributes in design basis for pipe support design?
The parameters are size, layout, dimensional limits, and proportions of piping systems.

What are the four design basis to consider regarding piping design?
The four design basis to consider are
1.) Materials
2.) Physical Attributes
3.) Loading Conditions
4.) Environmental Factors
