Optimization of process pipeline parameters by techno-economic parameters

In the food and chemical industry, the design of new process pipelines and modernization of existing pipeline systems for transportation of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products is a complex organizational and technical task, one of the stages of which is to carry out the necessary hydraulic calculations. It is common practice in domestic and foreign practices to hydraulically calculate pipeline lines based on the flow intricacy equation and the Bernoulli equation for a real viscous liquid, which takes into account pressure losses on friction and on overcoming local pipeline resistances. With this approach, hydraulic calculation is a multivariate task, as there are infinite combinations of pipeline diameter - differential pressure parameters, unequal from both economic and technical positions. Based on the analysis of literary sources, the work shows the expediency of carrying out hydraulic calculation of pipeline lines according to techno-economic indicators...
