Fluid Modeling for Pipeline Hydraulics-Density of Petroleum Products

Calculating Liquid Density of Refined Petroleum Products Using Bulk Modulus & Thermal Expansion Coefficient

Explore the detailed approach to determining the density of refined petroleum products and crude oil using critical fluid properties such as bulk modulus and thermal expansion coefficient. This method focuses on calculating density at specified pressures and temperatures, starting from the reference density derived from API gravity. Understand how bulk modulus influences compressibility and how temperature and gravity impact fluid behavior. The content also covers the application of this approach to petroleum products, with an emphasis on crude oil without dissolved gas. Learn how to accurately determine liquid density, considering the effects of pressure and temperature on fluid properties.
