An Example !An Example !
• A pipeline has 4 segments as A pipeline has 4 segments as follow:follow:
Segment No. Length (Km) Elevation (+m) Temp (ºC)
1 15 20 502 20 40 303 50 10 404 15 0 20
Question #1Question #1
• If the pipe diameter and inlet/outlet If the pipe diameter and inlet/outlet pressure are known, what is the flow pressure are known, what is the flow velocity of natural gas in it?velocity of natural gas in it?
Outside diameter Do 52 Inches
Wall thickness t 0.25 Inches
Inside diameter Di 51.5 inches
Inlet pressure P1 1152 Psi
Inlet temperature T1 50 ºC
Outlet pressure P2 883 Psi
Outlet temperature T2 20 ºC
The Solution is :The Solution is :
Q(SCF/D) 2,415,957,168 = 68.41 MMSCM/Day
velocity 27.34 ft/s
• If the pipe efficiency consider 92% and If the pipe efficiency consider 92% and effective roughness of 0.0018”.effective roughness of 0.0018”.
• The average erosion velocity is 59.2 ft/s The average erosion velocity is 59.2 ft/s so calculated velocity is OK.so calculated velocity is OK.
Question #2Question #2
• If we want to branch and use gas along If we want to branch and use gas along pipeline as follow, what is the suit pipe pipeline as follow, what is the suit pipe diameter according to desire pressure diameter according to desire pressure drop?drop?
