Abstract
A single phase flow model has been developed for gas distribution pipeline networks. The model is developed based on looped-system approach with some modifications. In this model, a equation of state model is implemented for predicting the gas properties required for the governing equations of the network system. By utilizing the Linear Theory Method, the Panhandle’s single phase gas flow model is implemented in this model to predict the hydrodynamic variables in each leg of the network using the iterative technique which is developed in this study. A generalization of the single phase network model is provided thereby making it possible for the single flow model used to be replaced by another one that may be more applicable for a particular situation. Using the iterative procedure developed, pressure at all nodes, gas flow rate at each leg can be predicted. The test results demonstrate that the model can serve as a predictive and design tool for solving a single phase gas flow problem in pipeline network.
