Efficient numerical method for district heating system hydraulics

摘要: An efficient method for numerical simulation and analyses of the steady state hydraulics complex pipeline networks is presented. It based on loop model network square roots solving system linear equations. The procedure presented in comprehensive mathematical form that could be straightforwardly programmed into a computer code. application to energy efficiency real district heating demonstrated. obtained results show potential electricity savings pumps operation. shown considerably more effective than standard Hardy Cross still widely used engineering practice. Because ease implementation high efficiency, this paper recommended hydraulic calculations networks.
