ANALYSIS ON VARIOUS FACTORS AFFECTING PRESSURE DROP ALONG THE GAS TRANSPORTATION PIPELINE DESIGN

The final year project in its present form is to analyze the various factors effecting on pressure drop along the gas transportation pipeline design by using PIPESIM software. Initially to analyze the effect of factor that can cause the pressure drop along the gas transportation design. Typically author will focus on four main factors , Elevation: conversion of fluid potential energy into hydrostatic pressure, Friction (roughness) : shear stress between pipe wall and gas, Start node Temperature, Pipe sizing, which will cause the pressure drop along the gas pipeline. Consideration of pipeline transportation is very important before designing the gas transportation pipeline. There are majors problem may occur if failure to analyze on the pressure drop during designing the gas transportation pipeline. The result will be failure to fulfill the customer desire pressure and flow rate and it may lost the large amount of profit. Author will develop the graphical relationship between these five main factors effecting on the pressure drop in this research. Designing a small model of gas transportation pipeline, simulating by PIPESIM software, analysis on outcome results are main criteria of this project. Brief introduction on project, theory and literature review of the project, methodology and project activities will be included in the report
