RawFlow Help Center
Overview
RawFlow is a simple to use fluid mechanics app for quickly solving process flow related problems involving incompressible fluids. It is useful for calculating the pump size or flow rate of a system of piping and fittings with elevation and pressure changes; calculating the NPSHa for a pump; calculating pressure drop or flow rate through a packed bed; sizing control valves; calculating flow rate through orifice and Venturi meters; and calculating leak rate through a hole in a tank or piping.
Notes:
Various fluids provided with temperature dependent property correlations, or fluid properties can be manually specified for use in each calculation
Common pipe materials, with pipe roughness values, available for selection
Common pipe fittings available for selection, with built in K factor correlations
Use of the Hagen-Poiseuille (laminar flow) and the Colebrook-White (turbulent flow) equations for friction factors
