Logical value for each pipe in tracing path enumerated along the direction of flow.

Type: `assert_double`. - `elev_tol`: maximum allowed discrepancy between adjacent outlet and inlet elevations of two subsequent pipes in the traced path, [**m**]. Type: `assert_number`. - `method`: method of determining **Darcy friction factor** * `romeo` * `vatankhan` * `buzelli` Type: `assert_choice`. For more details see `dropp`. - `forward`: tracing direction flag: is it a forward direction of tracing? If `FALSE` the backward tracing is performed. Type: `assert_flag`. - `absg`: Whether argument `g` (amount of heat carrier discharge to network) is an absolute value in [**ton/hour**] (`TRUE`) or is it a percentage of flow rate in the pipe segment (`FALSE`)? Type: `assert_flag`. ## Returns `list` containing results (detailed log) of tracing for each pipe in tracing path enumerated along the direction of flow: - **`temperature`**: **Traced thermal hydraulic regime**.

Type: `assert_double`. - **`flux`**: **Traced thermal hydraulic regime**. Normative heat flux for each pipe in tracing path enumerated along the direction of flow, [**W/m^2**]. Type: `assert_double`. - **`Q`**: **Traced thermal hydraulic regime**. Normative heat loss for each pipe in tracing path enumerated along the direction of flow per day, [**kcal**]. Type: `assert_double`. Type: `assert_list`. ## Details The calculated (values of) regime may be considered as representation of district heating process in conditions of hypothetically perfect technical state of pipe walls and insulation. They consider only simple tracing paths which do not contain rings and any kind of parallelization. At the same time bidirectional (forward and backward) tracing is possible in accordance with sensor position. They also may consider discharges to network at the inlet of each pipeline segment as an approximation of actual forks of flows. Relevant illustration of adopted assumptions for 4-segment tracing path is depicted on the next figure. They make additional check for consistency of `inlet` and `outlet` values for subsequent pipe segments. Discrepancy of appropriate elevations cannot be more than `elev_tol`. Since inner diameter of the pipe is used as input, the the thickness of the pipe wall additionally considered in heat flux calculations. Pipe wall thickness is derived from pipe diameter using [GOST 30732](https://docs.cntd.ru/document/1200174717) specifications. ## Examples ```r library(pipenostics) # Consider 4-segment tracing path depicted in ?m325regtrace help page. # First, let sensor readings for forward tracing: t_fw <- 130 # [°C] p_fw <- mpa_kgf(6)*all.equal(.588399, mpa_kgf(6)) # [MPa] g_fw <- 250 # [ton/hour] # Let discharges to network for each pipeline segment are somehow determined as discharges <- seq(0, 30, 10) # [ton/hour] # Then the calculated regime (red squares) for forward tracing is regime_fw <- m325traceline(t_fw, p_fw, g_fw, discharges, forward = TRUE) print(regime_fw) # $temperature # [1] 129.1799 128.4269 127.9628 127.3367 # # $pressure # [1] 0.5878607 0.5874226 0.5872143 0.5870330 # # $flow_rate # [1] 250 240 220 190 # # $loss # [1] 348.0000 347.1389 346.3483 345.8610 # # $flux # [1] 181.9600 181.5097 181.0963 180.8415 # # $Q # [1] 5011200 4415607 2493707 2905232 # Next consider values of traced regime as sensor readings for backward tracing: t_bw <- 127.3367 # [°C] p_bw <- .5870330 # [MPa] g_bw <- 190 # [ton/hour] # Then the calculated regime (red squares) for backward tracing is regime_bw <- m325traceline(t_bw, p_bw, g_bw, discharges, forward = FALSE) print(regime_bw) # $temperature # [1] 129.9953 129.1769 128.4254 127.9619 # # $pressure # [1] 0.5883998 0.5878611 0.5874228 0.5872144 # # $flow_rate # [1] 250 250 240 220 # # $loss # [1] 347.1358 346.3467 345.8599 345.2035 # # $flux # [1] 181.5081 181.0955 180.8410 180.4978 # # $Q # [1] 4998755 4405529 2490192 2899710 # Let compare sensor readings with backward tracing results: tracing <- with(regime_bw, { lambda <- function(val, constraint) c(val, constraint, constraint - val, abs(constraint - val)*100/constraint) first <- 1 structure( rbind( lambda(temperature[first], t_fw), lambda(pressure[first], p_fw), lambda(flow_rate[first], g_fw) ), dimnames = list( c("temperature", "pressure", "flow_rate"), c("sensor.value", "traced.value", "abs.discr", "rel.discr") ) ) }) print(tracing) # sensor.value traced.value abs.discr rel.discr # temperature 129.9952943 130.000000 4.705723e-03 0.0036197868 # pressure 0.5883998 0.588399 -8.215938e-07 0.0001396321 # flow_rate 250.0000000 250.000000 0.000000e+00 0.0000000000 ``` ## See Also Other Regime tracing: `m325tracebw()`, `m325tracefw()`, `tracebw()`, `tracefw()`, `traceline()`
