The transport line is 15 m in length with an overall elevation drop of 5m. The piping layout is shown in Figure le Pipe Bena The pipe has three layers of insulation surrounding its entire length as shown in Figure 2. Outer Layer Middle Lay — Inner Layer Table 1 gives the composition and thermal condition of the source fluid. Table 2 and Table 3 contain the information for the pipe and fittings. Page ?

PRosem: 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.
