Abstract: The fully implicit finite-difference method is used to solve the continuity, momentum, and energy equations for flow within a gas pipeline. This methodology (1) incorporates the convective inertia ...

Abstract: A detailed mathematical model of compressor stations and pipes is essential for optimizing the performance of the gas pipeline system. Most of the available literature on compressor station ...

Abstract: One of the key factors in the operation of a natural gas pipeline network is the linepack in the network. The desired operation of the network as derived from estimated receipts and deliveries ...
