The Influence of Slenderness Ratio and Stress Concentration in Taps on Load Calculations to Thermal Expansion in U-shaped Compensators of Thermal Network

Abstract

This article is about calculations of U - shaped regions of water heat network. The universal calculation algorithm is used for various geometric schemes and simple self-compensating pipeline sections. The influence of slenderness ratio and stress concentration factor in the smooth curved bends on voltages and maximum permissible flight compensated shoulders of U - shaped regions for different geometric configurations was taken into account in this work.
