Abstract
The consecutive transmission of refined oil pipelines results in inevitable oil blending. The majority of long-distance pipelines for refined oil are designed with variable pipe diameter and flow rate, and changing pipe diameter and flow rate complicates oil mixing volume computation. To simplify the computation of oil mixing volume, some ignore the change in pipe diameter. However, this will result in significant inaccuracy and limitations. In this paper, the equivalent length approach is used to determine the mixing volume using the Lebenzon formula and the Austin-Palfrey empirical formula, and the error analysis is done using example derivation and SPS simulation. The method improves the blending volume calculation's accuracy. It serves as a benchmark for estimating blending volume throughout the sequential shipment of finished oil.
