Problem
Given Design Data:
Gas flow rate = 130 MMscfd
Inlet pressure = 1000 psig
Outlet pressure = 650 psig
Sp. Gr. of gas = 0.70
Length of Pipeline = 70 miles
Average gas temperature = 80 deg F
Pipeline efficiency factor = 0.98
• Calculate the pipe size, using Weymouth equation, required to transport this gas.
• Determine the inlet pressure for this system if the outlet pressure is raised to 700 psig.
• How much gas can be transported through the pipeline if its length is reduced to 60 miles?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
