Gas Pipeline Hydraulics
Gas Pipeline Hydraulics by Shashi Menon, published by Trafford Publishing in 2013, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the steady state hydraulics of natural gas and other compressible fluids transported through pipelines. Spanning 534 pages, this book focuses on determining flow rates and the necessary compressor station horsepower while considering the limitations of pipe strength based on materials and grades.
Readers will find detailed discussions on scenarios requiring one or more compressors, as well as the importance of discharge cooling to manage gas temperatures. Drawing from over 38 years of the author’s experience in the field, the book provides insights relevant to business and economics, technology and engineering, and the transportation of fossil fuels. This edition serves as a valuable reference for professionals and students interested in the intricacies of gas pipeline hydraulics.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural gas and other compressible fluids being transported through pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of over 38 years of the authors’ experience on pipelines in North and South America while working for major energy companies such as ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.
