Course detail
Pipeline Engineering
FSI-LPO Acad. year: 2024/2025 Summer semester
The course deals with pipes and pipe networks for the transport of liquids, gas, sludge, raw materials, energy, etc. Problems of steady and unsteady flow numerics, pumps, valves, in-situ measuring, and surge are also solved. Knowledge in the field of the design of water-, oil-, gas-, heat-supply systems and sludge delivery piping is the goal of the training.
