Abstract

In this chapter, an effective approach for calculating the size of a gas pipeline and an oil/hydrocarbon liquid pipeline is presented. The method is very simple and does not necessitate any complicated calculations. The proposed method derives the diameter, length, flow rate, inlet and outlet pressures from a simple flow formula. In general, the method produces better pipe size prediction results. The subject of this paper is to present mathematical relationships, based on which Gas pipe and hydrocarbon liquid pipe size is calculated.
