Abstract

The purpose of this is the determination of appropriate friction factor and selection of a representative equation for natural gas flow under the presented conditions in the network. Calculation of the presented looped gas pipeline network is done according to principles of Hardy Cross method. The final flows were calculated for known pipe diameters and nodes consumptions while the flow velocities through pipes have to stand below certain values. In optimization problems flows are treated as constant, and the diameters are variables.
