Design and Economical Evaluation of a Crude Oil Transportation Pipeline Â
Question
Design and economical evaluation of a crude oil transport pipeline
A crude-oil pipeline system of 400 km length is to be designed. The design flow rate is 188000 bbl/day. The specific gravity and kinematic viscosity of the crude-oil at the design temperature of 4°C is 0.8701and 37 cSt, respectively. A terminal pressure head of 50 m is to be maintained. The maximum allowable operating pressure for the pipeline (MAOP)is set to be 90 bars. The selected pipe material is API grade 5l-X60.The pipeline profile is given in the following table:

The project should focus on the fundamentals of pipeline design as emphasized throughout the course. It should provide a general overview of the system approach of design, which integrates the hydraulic and mechanical components of pipeline design, along with project economic analysis, in determining the preferred pipeline system. The project should also include discussion of design topics for related pipeline-system components such as the pump station location and sizing, hydrostatic testing for pipelines and analysis and control of fluid transients.
Summary
This question belongs to fluid mechanics and discusses about design and economical evaluation of a crude oil transportation pipeline.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was looking for help writing my case study on Stock Valuation. The case study needed specific stock valuation analysis work and I needed someone with good hold on the subject to write the case study analysis. At HwA I was paired with a finance assignment expert who had extensive industry experience. The quality of the assignment was absolutely brilliant and helped me score an A.

The most fascinating thing is how they actually respond to quick demand. It was a classic mistake! The actual deadline of my ratio analysis assignment was on 16th and I mentioned to them that it is 26th. Just when I had pinged them on 14th, they instantly delivered me the accounting homework by 15th evening. I was so relieved and thrilled to get in the same.

Being a student in the Accounting and Management program I desperately needed help with writing my Variance Analysis – Performance Metrics assignment. The online managerial assignment experts at TheReliableTutor are very professional and clear in their communication and greatly helped me in understanding the assignment questions for the variance analysis assignment before starting to write the assignment essay. Their prices are also right for a student like me on a tight budget.

I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behavior but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
