Fundamentals of Gas Hydraulics in Pipeline Systems

3 credits · Graduate Programs

Applications of fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to pipelines conveying compressible media (gases). Strategies for describing the gas-dynamics of pipeline systems and networks are developed, as well as the influence of gas properties and pipeline operating characteristics on component selection and operating parameters. Antirequisite(s): Credit for Mechanical Engineering 632 and 619.40 (Fundamentals of Gas Hydraulics in Pipeline Systems) will not be allowed.
