Pipe2024: Gas (Gas Analysis)

Pipe2022: Demo

Pipe2018: Gas

Gas analyzes steady, one-dimensional, isothermal flow for ideal and  non-ideal, variable-density gases.

The module includes the ability to account for ideal natural gas distribution and landfill gas collection.  It is also useful for determining the effects of demand or load changes.

Gas can accommodate large networks, looped systems, and multiple supply and load points.  Several scenarios may be set up in a single model, such as load changes and open/closed valves. Click here for our model comparisons and limitations page.

Equations

Darcy Weisbach equations and the Ideal Gas law are used to describe pressure-temperature density relationships.  Non-Ideal Gas and Constant Density Gas analyses are also available.  Mass-flow calculation is used to determine velocity.
