Study of Gas Condensation in Transmission Pipelines With a Hydrodynamic Model

Abstract: A nonisothermal, ID, compositional, two-fluid, multiphase hydrodynamic model is used to describe the incipient formation and dynamic behavior of condensate in a natural-gas pipeline with undulating topology. The 26-in. [66-cm] -diameter case-study transmission pipeline traverses 180 elevation changes in its 30. 72-mile [49.4-lan] span. Results demonstrate the predictive and descriptive potential of the model in field applications and the significant effect of inclination and inclination changes on the hydrody… Show more

“…The results from them demonstrated the predictive and descriptive potential of the model in field applications. Mucharam et al (1990) improved the model for natural gas pipelines with undulating topology and demonstrated the significant effect of inclination and inclination changes on the hydrodynamics of gas/condensate flow in transmission pipelines. At the same time, Vincent (1990) also developed a predictive compositional hydrodynamic model with a two-parameter equation of state.…”

“…The condensation will decrease the effective cross-sectional area and cause the increase of pressure drop which may lead to system shutdown [11,16]. Generally, the condensed water accumulates at the lower parts of the pipeline due to the hilly pipeline route topography, which results in a continuous change of liquid holdup along the pipeline [12][13][14]. The changing liquid holdup and flow area are bounded to affect the flow patterns which inevitably influence the operating pressure and temperature inversely.…”

“…These thermo/hydrodynamic models have sought to address an operational problem while seeking a fundamental understanding of two-phase (gas/ condensate) flow in pipes. The work is well documented in the literature and needs not be repeated here Mucharam et al 1990;Ayala and Adewumi 2003).…”
