Heat Capacity in Hydraulics & Compressor Calculations
Discover how specific heat capacity, a key thermodynamic property, influences various aspects of pipeline hydraulics beyond density and viscosity. This content delves into how specific heat capacity impacts compressor head and temperature rise calculations, as well as heat transfer between the pipeline and its surroundings. Learn to calculate the temperature profile within a pipeline, essential for understanding changes in fluid viscosity, especially in oil pipelines. The content also covers empirical methods, such as the Gamble correlation for estimating specific heat capacity in the absence of rigorous models, and demonstrates how to evaluate the specific heat capacity ratio (CP/CV) for natural gas pipelines using empirical data.
