Fundamentals and Analysis of Gas Pipeline Hydraulics- Example Temperature Profile Calculation

Calculating Temperature Profiles in a Buried Gas Pipeline

An example calculation of the outlet temperature in a 12-inch, 10,000-foot buried gas pipeline transporting 25 million standard cubic feet per day. Using an iterative procedure, the video demonstrates how to apply the heat transfer principles and temperature gradients, starting from the inlet temperature and ambient conditions. The example covers calculating the pipe's cross-sectional area, mass flow rate, and the overall heat transfer gradient, followed by the step-by-step convergence to the final outlet temperature. This content is essential for pipeline engineers and students focused on thermal analysis in pipeline systems.
