The design of a cooling water system
Cooling water installations are designed to cool an installation in the event of a nearby fire. This can be necessary if the contents of a tank or pressure vessel are likely to expand with heat. We can use BOSfluids to perform hydraulic calculations of steady state flows in a cooling water system that includes many deluge nozzles (sprinklers).
BOSpulse: New node type for modeling end caps
BOSpulse offers a new Cap node type with which you can more accurately model Pressure Suppression Devices and therefore perform more accurate API 618 and API 674 analyses.
BOSfluids: Improved and more efficient user interface
The new BOSfluids release brings many small and large improvements to its user interface that make it even more efficient and versatile.
BOSfluids 7.0: New heat exchanger element type
The BOSfluids element collection has been extended with a new element type for modeling shell and tube heat exchangers.
BOSpulse 5.0: Extended vessel and orifice models
The latest BOSpulse release brings extended Surge Vessel and Orifice element types. The SurgeVessel element has been extended with support for specifying the gas pressure and volume at the time of installation.
BOSfluids 7.0: Support for building 2-D piping models
The ability to work with 3-D piping models has always been one of the fundam ental features of BOSfluids. This not only sets BOSfluids apart from similar software, but also makes it possible to obtain more accurate results, especially if the flow conditions of interest are affected by the geometry of the piping system. On […]
Paper: Well integrity of Fiberglass Casings in Geothermal Well Designs
Two of the key challenges currently encountered in operating geothermal wells using conventional steel casings are corrosion and scaling. These problems significantly reduce the lifespan of the steel casing systems, causing wellbore integrity issues, which could lead to major environmental contamination. Moreover, the corrosion leads to surface degradation of the casing, causing excessive pressure losses. […]
BOSpulse 5.0: Improved model building user interface
The upcoming BOSpulse release, version 5.0, comes with a new set up of the first two top-level tab pages in the user interface. This change improves the distinction between the actions that operate on the main model and those that operate on a sub-scenario. This change makes it possible to skip the Scenarios tab page […]
Upcoming BOSfluids release offers a steady state license option
BOSfluids is mostly known and used for transient flow analyses. However, it also provides a robust, fast and accurate steady state flow solver that can handle systems filled with liquids or gases. The upcoming BOSfluids 7.0 will offer a steady state license option that makes BOSfluids a very capable and cost-effective solution for the analysis […]
BOSpulse: (Preview) New support for end caps
The upcoming version of BOSpulse will offer a new Cap node type with which you can more accurately model Pressure Suppression Devices (PSDs) and therefore perform more accurate API 618 and API 674 analyses. Modeling the acoustic length and volume of the piping system is of great importance for an API 618 or API 674 […]
