Pipe with Insulation
Layers
A pipeline transports 123000 kg/hr of an LNG mixture at low temperature to
a further compression and cooling stage. The transport line is 15 m in length
with an overall elevation drop of 5m. The piping layout is shown in Figure

The pipe has three layers of insulation surrounding its entire length as shown
in Figure 2.

Calculate : i
a the outlet temperature, pressure, and gas quality for the transport
Use the Beggs-Brill-Moody (BBM) pressure drop method with the Soave
Redlich Kwong (SRK) thermodynamic method. Since the fluid
es is provided you can use the INPLANT compositional fluid
model.
The pressure drop calculations for the bends assume a standard mitre bend
with values for the K multiplier used in the Crane-based formulae.
% Note: Because of the low temperatures expected, reset the default
ae minimum temperature to -75°C. You must reset the minimum
2 ; allowed temperature for the problem to allow low temperature
ak calculations.
Due to the layout of the pipeline, you should specify the single-link
calculation option. Configure the inclined sections of pipeline by giving the
elevation change. For flow vertically downwards, give a negative value.
What is the outlet temperature for the transport line?. °C
What ie the outlet preeeure for the transport line?. bar
What is the outlet gas quality for the traneport line?__(fraction)
In order to identify the flow regime for the system, print the Taitel-Dukler
flow regime map to the output file. Also, select the full report for devices.
