Analysis on mathematical modeling for multi-source and multi-outlet complex compressed air pipe network

Array was used to build the structure mathematical model of the multi-source and multi-outlet complex compressed air pipe network. With the topology structure of the pipe network, the pressure dropping law and the linkage characteristics between the pressure and the flow of the compressed air in the pipe, the fluctuation of the pressure and flow of the air was obtained. With the model, the possible fluctuation of the pressure or the flow could be predicted rapidly, which could provide a solution for the accurate forecast of the volume of the compressed air in the network. With the accurate data of the pressure and flow, the energy efficiency of the whole pipe network can be analyzed too.
