    Compressible Pipe Flow Analysis &


    System Modeling Software

    AFT Arrow 4

    Evaluate New Designs and Improve Your Installed Systems


    AFT Arrow is practical fluid dynamic simulation software used to calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in gas
    piping and ducting systems. Designed for compressible flow systems containing steam, compressed air, chemical and
    petrochemical process gases, natural gas transport and more, AFT Arrow is an indispensable tool to help you tackle
    your most challenging systems.

    Capabilities

    Benefits

    Typical Applications

    Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios


    Quickly and easily change system input data, including
    valve positions, compressor operation, control set
    points, pressures, temperatures and more
    Model a wide range of system components for both
    design and operational cases
    Select ideal or real gases
    Choose between isothermal, adiabatic or generalized
    heat transfer conditions
    Vary your system lineup: open and close pipes and
    valves, turn compressors or fans on or off, set control
    valves to fail position
    Conduct flow analysis with high velocities including
    sonic choking
    Compile libraries of your frequently used components
    and quickly select them from a drop down list
    Assemble non-reacting mixtures and analyze dynamic
    mixtures resulting from intersecting flow streams
    Model rotating piping systems such as those found in
    steam and gas turbines
    Model effects of elevation changes such as in tall
    structures, subsurface mines and overland pipelines

    Understand the
    fluid dynamic and
    thermodynamic
    behavior of your system

    Pipe and duct sizing


    Relief valve sizing and
    system calculations
    Compressor and fan
    sizing and selection
    Control valve sizing and
    selection
    Simulating system
    operation and
    component interaction
    Choked flow
    calculations
    Evaluating pipe
    insulation and heat
    transfer in pipes and
    heat exchangers
    Troubleshooting
    existing systems

    Dynamic solutions for a fluid world TM

    Predict how pipes,


    valves, compressors,
    fans and other
    components will
    interact with each other
    Evaluate the
    performance of new
    designs
    Assure all design
    requirements are met
    Identify and correct
    operational problems
    Produce less costly,
    more efficient and more
    reliable piping systems

    Features
    Advanced marching methods provide highly accurate
    results
    Detailed modeling for fans and compressors, control
    valves, heat exchangers and other components
    Conduct compressor and fan energy cost analysis
    Conduct thermal analysis including piping heat
    transfer and heat exchanger modeling
    Scenario Manager tracks all design variants and
    operational possibilities in a single model file
    Integrated graphing and reporting
    Built-in library of gases and fittings can be extended
    and customized
    Built-in ASME steam properties
    Optional ChempakTM add-on utility provides a
    thermophysical database of almost 600 gases - allows
    you to define non-reacting pre-mixtures and simulate
    dynamic flow mixing

    AFT Arrow add-on modules:


    Goal Seek and Control (GSC) - automates
    identification of input parameters that yield desired
    output values and simulates control functions
    Cost (CST) - calculates the cost of pipes and
    components
    The modules can work individually or together and
    used with your existing AFT Arrow models.

    How does it work?


    AFT Arrows powerful solution engine simultaneously
    solves five fundamental equations; mass, momentum,
    energy, state and Mach number. It uses a modified
    Newton - Raphson matrix iteration method plus
    proprietary methods developed by AFT so you can
    achieve a true and rigorous compressible flow solution.
