The paper introduces a method for calculating the depressurization coordinate of an extended ultra-high pressure gas pipeline from the data measurements of pressure and flow rate at the outlet. The method is based on a mathematical model of a non-isothermal steady single-phase gas mixture flow through a pipeline of constant section on the quasi-linearization method. It allows to calculate the depressurization coordinate for extended underground and offshore ultra-high pressure gas pipelines with high accuracy, while considering varying leakage size and location. Examples of solving problems of practical interest are given. The influence of the flow rate and pressure settings error on the coordinate of depressurization calculating error has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
