Thermal impact of the products pipeline on the crude oil pipeline laid in one ditch - The effect of pipeline interval

摘要

Numerical simulations are carried out to study the thermal impact of the cold products pipeline on the hot crude oil pipeline of the steady state. The pipelines studied are those used in the West Pipelines in China. The physical properties of North Xinjiang crude oil and those of 90# gasoline were used in this study. The effect of pipeline interval on the thermal impact is studied in details at various conditions.
