Hello,
I'm designing an instrument gas system for a natural gas metering station. Its in a remote Australian location and requires gas to actuate some valves. The supply pipeline operates at up to 12,000 kPa and the instrument gas is typically 800 kPa so there's lots of JT cooling but a very...
Does pressure drop due to friction in a gas pipeline result in a Joule-Thompson temperature drop?
I believe it does, but my colleague disagrees. I'm asking because he has a very accurate gas pipeline modelling spreadsheet and isn't sure if JT effect should be included in it or not. Expert...
