Hi everybody,

I am using Caesar II to solve a piping vibration problem in one of our petrochemical plant. The problem consists of a piping system for chiller water is vibrating due to an external harmonic frequency at 11, 22 and 33 Hz. The max displacement occurs at 11 Hz.

The main problem for me that how can I calculate the exciting harmonic force to excite the model before we can make modifications. The piping system includes reducer from 8” and 6” to 4” and 4” equal tee.

Also, how we can calculate the dynamic force, which is coming from the reducers and branches due to fluid direction change.

Looking for your appreciated help.

Regards,
