Natural gas enters a 150-km-long pipeline (0.30-m inner diameter) at 6.5 MPa (gage) and exits at 3.0

Question:

Natural gas enters a 150-km-long pipeline (0.30-m inner diameter) at 6.5 MPa (gage) and exits at 3.0 MPa (gage). The natural gas flow rate is 24.06 kg/s. The temperature of the natural gas is 17° C (it is an isothermal process), and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Assuming the natural gas to be methane (CH4), determine the maximum average velocity in the pipeline. Use the NIST Web- Book or software to evaluate properties. How would your result differ if you were to assume ideal-gas behavior? Discuss.image
