One Minute Process Engineering: Pipeline hydraulic calculation

Challenge

Are you frustrated with pipeline hydraulic calculations? Do you find it tedious to extract route data from a KML file and manually import it into a process simulator? What if I told you all of this could be done in just one minute?

Minimum Wall Thickness for Supercritical CO2 Pipeline

Challenge

Determining the minimum wall thickness for supercritical CO₂ pipelines requires consideration of multiple factors: internal design pressure, ductile fracture arrest, and dynamic pressure surges. While the design thickness for internal pressure can be readily calculated using ASME B31.4, the impacts of ductile fracture and surge pressures (similar to water hammer in liquid pipelines) are often discussed but seldom addressed in practical wall-thickness calculations.
