Bentley PlantFLOW

Pipe Network Flow Analysis Using Real-world 3D Geometry

Feature: Thermodynamics integrated with flow equations



PlantFLOW Accommodates Multi-component, Non-ideal Mixtures

PlantFLOW uses point-by-point thermodynamic and pressure drop calculations that calculate Z-factor and other thermodynamic and transport properties of single or multi-component non-ideal gas or liquid mixtures. PlantFLOW calculates if flashing or sonic choking occurs anywhere in the system and warns the user if that happens.

Additional Features:

  1. Thermodynamics Integrated with Flow Equations
  2. Built-in Libraries
  3. Flexible 2D or 3D Drawing Modes
  4. Graphical Review of Analysis Results
  5. Creation and Modification of Piping Flow Model
  6. Interfaces with CAD and Piping Stress
