The process of pressure reduction and gas leakage rate (discharge characteristics) of a hole has so far been accomplished by utilizing some zero-dimensional models. In these models the effects of complex boundaries are ...

At present, the gas engineers use the simple Campbell’s equation to determine the proper length of parallel gas pipelines. The Campbell’s equation was proposed for horizontal pipelines with assumption that the gas compressibility factor...

With the growth of electricity generation from gas energy gas pipeline reliability can substantially impact the electric generation. A physical disruption to pipeline or to a compressor station can interrupt the flow of gas or reduce the pressure...

. The present study proposes a new approach to evaluate the gas release rate and released mass by introducing non-dimensional equations for simulating quasi-one-dimensional transient compressible flow in a ruptured gas pipeline. These equations are derived from...
