Minimum pipeline fluid velocity?
Minimum pipeline fluid velocity?
(OP)
I have been looking for a reference that I had found in a technical article some time around the first of the year. This article had commented that fluid velocities that are kept above 3 m/s will minimize MIC in pipelines. Would anyone know where I may have found this. I have searched for several days and I am unable to uncover my source.
