I'm looking for something similar in the past, but allways be very complicated to understand. Your code is very clear and simplistic. I'll try with new samples. Dou you have any?

Regards, and look forward

Glad to help Carlos! Unfortunately I don't have more samples.

I'll try to make a new one, I'll be in contact. By the way, in the nework image, there is a square with a number on every node, what does this means? Q? (in what units?)

andreasioannides commented 9 months ago

The Q inside the boxes in each node refers to the natural gas consumption of each node. It's units are [m^3/h]. Also I found a second pipeline network to solve (image below).

I look forward to your results! Screenshot 2024-01-22 153432

The question was about the number on the excel file in the Q column, Instead 40 there is 0.056, instead 60 there is 0.0833 and so on. What new units are? I'm not the mechanical man (I have an associate), I'm the developer. I have others samples also, due to this is my questions about the excel

Regards

andreasioannides commented 9 months ago

Ohh I'm sorry. I forgot to mention in the description that the Q of the first node as well as all the consumptions in the other nodes (including the daily demand in the table 2) are multiplied by 5. For example, in the second node we have: Q=40*5=200 m^3/kg=200/3600 m^3/s=0.056m^3/kg. My professor set the number 5 so that each student would have a "different" network to solve.

If you don't mind, what are you developing? Can I help?

Thanks in advance. The story is the following: Im a independent GIS developer and develop a GIS solution for many years on a natural gas company. Since pandemic, it occured to me to develop some design functionality (the GIS manage all the data edit, symboogy, etc. normal to GIS.

charga commented 9 months ago

Design like calculate the pressures and diameters for new projects at a steady state. And perhaps on a feature transient state.

With GIS do you mean the real estate development company?

sorry, Geographic Information System (maps, data, infrastructure, networks...)
