Joule-Thomson Inversion Point
Hello Everyone, Using WinSim, I am simulating natural gas stream conditions from an onshore wellhead to downstream of the first choke. Wellhead Properties T = 300F P = 12,000psig SG = 0.646 ΔP across choke = 5000psi After the choke, the gas temperature increases a few degrees (T = 302.2F)...- jesahe

Does the pressure drop in a liquid line depend on the operating pressure of the line?
Thank you! So, would it be correct to say that the pressure drop of single phase, incompressible liquid flow is only a result of the energy loss due to friction? Furthermore, the energy loss due to friction will always be the same regardless of operating pressure. If I'm grasping this I still...- jesahe

Does the pressure drop in a liquid line depend on the operating pressure of the line?
I'm studying the pressure drop of oil flow in a single phase liquid line by utilizing the Fanning equation [ ΔP = (0.00115f*Q2*S)/d5 ]. Where f = Moody friction factor, Q = liquid flow rate (barrels/day), S = liquid specific gravity, and d = pipe inside diameter (inches). I can see very clearly...- jesahe
