Flow Calculations
(OP)
How do I calculate for the following:
Two phases of flow (water and air runned in an incline pipeline from point 1 to point 2. Point 1 P1=200psig, T1=180F, Q water=300GPM, Q Methane=300ACFM.
I need to calculate Q water, Q gas actual ACFM, and Q gas standard SCFM. at Point 2 assuming P2=50psi and T2=175F ??
How would the calculation change if instead water, oil were flown?

RE: Flow Calculations
If you're after the flow regime, you need the diameter, length and incline angle of the pipe before you can predict.
If the flows of oil and gas were the same as the water and air, you do it the same way.
