Book Description

| Gas Pipeline Hydraulics |
In your day-to-day planning, design,
operation, and optimization of pipelines, wading through complex formulas
and theories is not the way to get the job done. Gas Pipeline Hydraulics
acts as a quick-reference guide to formulas, codes, and standards
encountered in the gas industry. Based on the author's 30 years of
experience in manufacturing and the oil and gas industry, the book presents
a step-by-step introduction to the concepts in a practical approach
illustrated by real-world examples, case studies, and a wealth of problems
at the end of each chapter.
Avoiding overly complex equations and
theorems, Gas Pipeline Hydraulics demonstrates the calculation of pressure
drop using various commonly accepted formulas. The author extends this
discussion to determine total pressure required under various
configurations, the necessity of pressure regulators and control valves, the
comparative pros and cons of adding compressor stations versus pipe loops,
mechanical strength of the pipeline, and thermal hydraulic analysis. He also
introduces transient pressure analysis along with references for more
in-depth study. The text concludes with the economic aspects of pipeline
systems.
