Numerical model of single phase turbulent flows for calculation of pressure drop along gas pipelines

Abstract

Calculation of pressure drop along gas pipelines is an important activity in order to ensure safety and effectiveness in petroleum gas transportation. We can’t control the transportation process unless we understand that technology. In reality, it’s very difficult to calculate exactly parameters from flow equations because they are concerned with a lot of complex chemiphisical and dynamic progresses. So, some experimental equations originated from the flow equation and related physical quantities are used in calculating the pressure drop along the gas pipelines. The result in each case is compared with the real value of the pipeline practice. Basing on that, we can draw a suitable calculation method applied for the gas pipeline from Bach Ho mine to Dinh Co station.
