The document discusses pipe sizing calculations for different fluids like liquid, gas and steam based on mass flow rate, density and other properties.

Pipe sizing is done by calculating the required pipe diameter based on mass flow rate, fluid density and desired flow velocity. Different equations are used for liquid, gas and steam based on their compressibility.

Factors like pipe diameter, pipe roughness, fluid properties, elevation changes, fittings and valves affect the pressure drop in a pipe. Smaller diameter, higher roughness, longer pipes and more fittings/valves increase pressure drop.
