Algorithm for Optimizing the Parameters of Oil Pipelines When Designing Petrochemical Industry Equipment

Abstract

The problem of technical and economic optimization of pipeline parameters for transportation of petroleum products exhibiting a viscosity anomaly is considered. The relations for determination of optimal pipeline diameter and pressure, providing pumping of the medium in the laminar, steady, isothermal regime on the pipeline from the condition of minimizing the total annual cost of its development and operation based on current prices and tariffs for the pipeline and energy topology of the pipeline, its working conditions, as well as anomalies of the viscosity of the transported medium.
