Transmission Pipeline Calculations and Simulations Manual

In the past, transmission pipeline routing and construction decisions were based largely on experience and "back of the envelope" calculations.With this manual, readers quickly pinpoint the essential formulae, equations, and calculations and find a valuable time and money saving tool. The manual's threer part treatment starts with gas and petroleum data tables, followed by self-contained chapters concerning applications. Case studies appear at the end of each chapter to provide practical experience for problem solving. Topics in this book include pressure and temperature profile of natural gas pipelines, how to size pipelines for specified flow rate and pressure limitations, and calculating the locations and HP of compressor stations and pumping stations on long distance pipelines. Case Studies are based on the author's personal field experiences Component to system level coverage Save time and Money well designing pipe routes Design and verify piping systems before going to the field Increase design accuracy and systems effectiveness
