I need to calculate the time taken for a pig to accelerate from an initial to a final velocity in a pipeline. (The reason this value is of importance is because it determines the level trip settings of an upstream vessel.) I know how to calculate this value using the mass and size of the pig and the pressure driving force available, but how do I include the frictioal loss component?
