  • Pressure drop calculation method and system taking account of thermal effects
    Patent number: 6625566
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of calculating the pressure drops created by a given fluid in a circuit having a determined thermal profile. The method includes making up a database (BD) giving the rheology of various fluids at least according to the temperature; segmenting a thermal profile (2, 3) into sections (4, 5, 6, 7) and determining a representative temperature value (T1, T2, T3, T4) for the fluid in each section; using the database for determining the rheology of the fluid in each section at the representative temperature; and calculating and adding up the pressure drops in each section considering the rheology determined.
