Abstract

The designer of pipes normally faces the problems of how to design and prevent the pipes from leakage when used. To eradicate of reduces this problems, effects of retarding force on mass flow rate must take into consideration by compare the retarding force, mass flow rate of fluid at different temperature and with pipes of different radius. The fluid flow always takes place in a particular medium and pipe is one of the most common among the entire medium. During the flow process, retarding force has effect on the mass flow rates and always caused nagative effect by reduce the expected delivery product in term of mass flow rates. Main focus of this paper is to develop a mathematical model and software visualization to view the effect of retarding forces on the mass flow rate in term of visualization. Software Visualization (SV) is engaged in computer science by using computer graphics for communicating the structure and behavior of software or algorithms. It is mostly used for complex software. Application of this concept to real life complex situations has no boundary. Spillage of underground pipes has caused serious problems ranging from environmental pollution or degradation to economic shortage. It is caused by many factors either deliberate or unintended. C-sharp (C#) is the chosen program and this enable us to determine the mass flow rates patterns in relation to retarding force in form of graphical representation such as tables and graphics at different temperatures.
