Many different wireless sensor nodes for gas pipeline leak detection and location has been proposed but still there are challenges particularly on environmental issues and signal accuracy. This paper discusses theories and environmental constraints for wireless sensor nodes, a case study of Dar es Salaam Tanzania and finally presents a design and simulation results of the proposed wireless sens...

Nowadays, centrifugal compressors are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the energy transmission facilities just like a gas pipeline stations. Therefore, these machines with different operational circumstances and thermodynamic characteristics are to be exploited according to the operational necessities. Generally, the most important operational parameters of a gas pipel...

Nowadays, the stress analysis mostly aimed at general buried pipelines. And few of the gas pipelines in tunnel (especially under the seismic action) were analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the stress distribution of gas pipeline under seismic action in tunnel. In this paper, CEASAR II software was used to establish the stress model of China-Myanmar XX tunnel pipeline under seismic ...

Abstract In view of the flammable and explosive characteristics oil gas pipeline transportation medium, once it leaks, production safety accidents are easy to occur. This study uses explosions with severe consequences caused by natural leakage as an example. The risk factors accident modes storage pipelines analyzed; explosion load is calculated a scaling prediction model TNO multi-energy metho...

Pipeline is one of the safest and most cost-effective means transportation for hydrocarbons. However, hydrocarbon releases subsequent fires explosions, are presented as persistent events. Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) enables to address risk prevent these In this regard, different approaches have been proposed pipelines, but few studies focused on oil transportation. This paper presents a ...

The present paper reports on the experimental and theoretical investigations on the lower explosion limits of single dusts, gases as well of two phase mixtures such as gas/dust, vapor/dust, spray/vapor and vapor/gas. The materials used were corn starch, lycopodium, toner and high density polyethylene as dusts, methane and hydrogen as combustible (perfect) gases and acetone and isopropanol as sp...

safety and failure in gas pipelines are very important in gas and petroleum industry. for this reason, it is important to study the effect of different parameters in order to reach the maximum safety in design and application. in this paper, a three dimensional finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of crack length, crack depth, crack position, internal pressure and pipe thi...
