Indexing is a key activity in CAD modeling. Arbitrary indexing of the models invariably leads to problems, as discussed in this article.
Estimate water hammer loads in steam piping
The problem is more complicated because of the two-phase flow
Use of pipework dampers to reduce piping vibrations
This method has been applied successfully in operating facilities to increase dynamic reliability and plant life
Calculating temperature profiles of critical pipe supports
This method gives more accurate nozzle loads for strain-sensitive equipment
