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:

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
My My dream of becoming a corporate cost accountant was hindered when I stumbled into the maze of the statements of financial position. However, the accounting assignment help experts at TheReliableTutor.com helped me go through the rough patch and now while I am pursuing my Masters also, I rely on them and only them.
Alexandra Metaxas Student
My main concern was the relevant local Singapore research and reference work that is required in my Masters course in the university. They are very particular about referenced and researched assignments and with the stats experts at TheReliableTutor I have never have had to worry about that since the experts provide the most excellent and relevant references in all my assignments which help me get top marks in the class.
R Rahul Student
The object oriented programming languages like C++ and Java were a nightmare for me and my professor rushed off with her lectures so fast that I couldn’t catch up with the syllabus. Then once HwA started helped me out with my computer science assignments I got more time to understand how the things summed up. They did not only just write the codes on my behalf but when I enquired explained to me every step individually. The experts here are really helpful and I will always remain grateful to HwA for all the nice grades I have got in my graduation and post graduation in computer science and technology.
Martin Waters Student
I was unsure about a communicable disease case study assigned to me on my final year of nursing study. Then when I browsed through the net for help I landed on HwA and found that their experts are really well equipped with knowledge and expertise pertaining to the subject. I am really happy with the assistance I had received and I recommend this site for all nursing students.
Anita Rogers Student
I always trust TheReliableTutor as they have always provided the required support and assistance. By assistance, I mean, they do not disappear after providing one accounting homework help but stay in touch for clarifying minor doubts and as a student I find it to be a very lucrative deal.

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
