Abstract:
Natural gas is extracted from wells and after purification, it reaches to consumption stages by transmission and distribution network. Energy losses in this section is vital and must be calculated appropriately. In this study, the network of distribution with low working pressure is examined. A network sample of natural gas is investigated using analitical solution of a steady flow of natural gas. Flow equations initially provided for a tube considering all parameters. Then, using the existing rules in pipe networks the network sample is analyzed. Effect of tube material as an important factor on network performance are evaluated and analyzed And finally, the rate of entropy generation in steel and polyethylene pipes were compared. The results show that by increasing the diameter or decreasing the gas flow rate, the tube material and friction coefficient is less effective on entropy generation in practice. Furthermore, the gas flow in lower diameters cause more entropy production using steel pipes in compare with polyethylene pipes.
