Hi, all
I am working on a project that involves analyzing fluid flow behavior in oil & gas pipelines.
I am interested in calculating and plotting the velocity profile, and also(pressure distribution, temp distribution)
Having studies fluid mechanics last year I am aware of the EOS for fluid flow.
Ie continuity equation, energy equation , momentum equation.
My problem is, i dealt with the above equations using constants and unknown variables making it quite straight forward to derive.
I am trying to apply these equations to my project but I am getting a bit confused on how to approach setting up the equations, and my knowledge is a bit rusty on the subject. I was hoping anybody could assist me on the matter? I have randomly selected data from a case study that provides the
Volumetric flow rate : 0.00479m^3/s
pipe diameter: 0.406m
therefore velocity (v)=0.0420m/s
(also other more data which i dnt think is relevant for now)
Description of flow
-Horizontal pipe, single phase flow(for simplicity)
-Medium : water
-Steady state
-Incompressible
-2 dimensional
with the velocity above can anyone run through an example of how I would apply say the conservation of momentum. And moving onto plotting a velocity profile, and also pressure distribution profile.
Will appreciate any answers or suggestions.
Thnks
