Flow Analysis for Hydrocarbon Pipeline Engineering gives engineers a tool to help them determine fluid dynamics. The book describes hydrocarbon fluid transport in pipelines by presenting useful applied thermodynamic derivations specialized for pipelines. All transport phenomena is covered, such as heat, momentum and mass transport. Moving past the fundamentals, the reference addresses the complexity of these fluids and dedicates a chapter on multiphase mixtures, including slugging, hydrates, wax and sand. Rounding out with practical case studies, this book delivers a critical reference for engineers and flow assurance experts that will help them correlate basic fluid principles with applied engineering practices. - Includes discussions on sustainable operations such as CO2 transport in pipelines utilized in carbon capture and hydrocarbon recovery operations - Delivers multiple case studies for practical applications and lessons learned - Describes hydrocarbon fluid transport in pipelines by presenting useful applied thermodynamic derivations specialized for pipelines

This book introduces novel methods for leak and blockage detection in pipelines. The leak happens as a result of ageing pipelines or extreme pressure forced by operational error or valve rapid variation. Many factors influence blockage formation in pipes like wax deposition that leads to the formation and eventual growth of solid layers and deposition of suspended solid particles in the fluids. In this book, initially, different categories of leak detection are overviewed. Afterwards, the observability and controllability of pipeline systems are analysed. Control variables can be usually presented by pressure and flow rates at the start and end points of the pipe. Different cases are considered based on the selection of control variables to model the system. Several theorems are presented to test the observability and controllability of the system. In this book, the leakage flow in the pipelines is studied numerically to find the relationship between leakage flow and pressure difference. Removing leakage completely is almost impossible; hence, the development of a formal systematic leakage control policy is the most reliable approach to reducing leakage rates.

This research project is focused on the fluid flow analysis of gas flow in oil and gas pipeline. Flow inside pipeline can cause vibration to the pipeline structure. The objective of this project is to analyze gas flow in oil and gas transmission pipeline by using FEA (Finite Element Analysis). In order to analyze the gas flow a rig has to be made and then do the modal analysis and operational deflection shape analysis (ODS) will be conducted. Modal analysis is done by attaching an accelerometer at different place of the rig and then knocks the rig by using impact hammer to simulate external forces. The data are analyze by using the MEscope software. The result is then compared with the result obtained from the Ansys software. After that the ODS analysis is done by conducting the experiment when there is flow inside the pipe. The modal analysis will show the result when there are external force acting on the rig and ODS analysis will show the result of the rig under operating condition. The result will show the mode shape of the rig, the natural frequencies and the damping of the rig. From the result we can see that in each of the mode shape that the rig has it will have its own natural frequency. The result of ODS will show the mode shape, natural frequency and the damping of the rig under operating condition. The data are compared with the simulation is because in real world the oil and gas pipeline are buried underground, so experiment cannot be done. By comparing these two results we can obtain the error of the result obtained from the simulation.
