BigInch,
How would you proceed with a gravity flow analysis given a detailed elevation profile?
Sewer designing sounds like a messy bunch of friction factors...
My problem differs in that my longitudinal crack is in the middle of the length of the pipeline (15 miles along a 25 mile pipeline). My two main concerns are:
1) How to account for the varying volume flow rate as the column of crude descends. (I assume only gravitational flow and associated...
BigInch, you said:
"That would mean you'll have a leak flow rate of around 377 gpm (or whatever your gravity flowrate actually is) until the line drains. With the volume in that 20 mile segment, I think you'll have a velocity of around 3.7 fps at the leak and it will take about 8 hours to...
