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 wouldn’t have been aware of the nitty-gritty of movie review if it was not for HwA. It all started when I took their help with the review of the 2010 movie, “Never let me go†and from then onwards during my entire scrip writing course I took help from experts of HwA to do my movie reviews and each time I got excellent grades.

I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.
Sapphire Barron Student
I was badly stuck while preparing my patient report assignment help and had no clue on how to incorporate all the minute details into the entire perspective. Luckily then only one of my friends suggested that HwA is the best place to get original work done and he was absolutely right. From the moment I contacted them I became certain that these people know the stuff and then they helped me deliver a brilliant patient report fetching me excellent grades in my class. It also taught me on how to write patient reports.

I have never experienced managerial accounting explained so clearly before. The online managerial assignment experts at TheReliableTutor are very professional and clear in their communication. Their prices are also right for a student like me on a tight budget.
Lee Tan Student
I was really stuck with the concept of pointer variables in FORTRAN programming when I came across HwA. The experts here know how to approach a particular programming assignment and have helped me get through my course with good grades.

This solution is perfect ...thanks
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
