Fluid Systems Skill

At a Glance

Design and validate water-based fluid systems from household plumbing to high-density data center cooling loops.

Activation: InfrastructureRequest type='cooling' or type='plumbing', any CDU sizing request, pipe sizing question, flow rate calculation, or pressure drop analysis.

Key capabilities:

• Pipe sizing via Darcy-Weisbach (all fluids) and Hazen-Williams (water only)
• Flow rate calculation from heat load (Q = Q_heat / (rho x Cp x DT))
• Pressure drop analysis with fitting equivalent lengths
• ASHRAE TC 9.9 water class selection (W1-W5) for data center cooling
• CDU/DTC cooling selection and manifold topology
• Pump curve analysis with NPSH verification and affinity laws
• Safety boundary enforcement by safety class (residential through industrial)

ENGINEERING DISCLAIMER: All calculations must be verified by a licensed Professional Engineer before use in construction or installation. Local plumbing codes (IPC/UPC) and pressure vessel standards (ASME B31.9) impose requirements not captured here. User assumes all responsibility for verification.
