Abstract
Mathematical model and computer simulation for solution of transient flow in the complex pipe network of
centrifuge cascade has been made to predict the behavior of its different components and their mutual
interaction. To make it more practical and efficient, a number of technical aspects ignored in other models
have been included. All possible fittings of the system have been included and optimizing techniques
developed to simulate the components and to achieve fast solution are presented. The model is especially
developed to cater flow of gas in complex low pressure network having number of feedback or recycling
loops. The system of partial and ordinary differential equations along with a number of algebraic equations
arising from the physical network have been analyzed and solved.
