ROL Assistant

The ROL Sia virtual advisor integrated into Refining Online® offers users a practical tool for obtaining technical guidance. By posing refining-related questions to Sia, users can access targeted answers derived from the platform's comprehensive Q&A database.

The Unit Conversion module provides precise conversions across a range of physical properties, including length, area, volume, mass, density, pressure, energy, power, temperature, flow rate, viscosity, specific energy, heat flux, heat transfer coefficient, and thermal conductivity. This feature facilitates accurate unit reconciliation essential for engineering calculations and analyses.

The Steam Properties section offers detailed data on enthalpy, density, heat capacity, viscosity, and thermal conductivity for saturated water and steam in both water and superheated states. This information supports thermal system assessments and process optimization.

The Line Pressure Drop calculator performs single-phase pipeline pressure loss calculations across various pipe sizes and materials. It accommodates inputs in both English and metric units, ensuring versatility for different regional standards and engineering practices.
