Numerical Study and Economy Analysis of Two Heated Crude Oil Pipelines Laid in One Ditch

In this paper,the transportation economy of two heated crude oil pipelines laid in one ditch is analyzed by taking into account the influence of operating temperature,interval between two pipelines,and distance between two heating stations on the heating energy consumption.To analyze the transportation economy,the two heated crude oil pipelines laid in one ditch are simulated under four operating conditions based on an unstructured finite volume method.Compared with laying two crude oil pipelines separately in two ditches,the results attest notably higher soil temperature,meaning reduced heat dissipation of each pipeline by laying two pipelines in one ditch.It is inferred that for the same desired oil temperature at the inlet of the next heating station,laying two pipelines in one ditch requires lower oil temperature at the outlet of heating station,indicating decreased energy cost at the heating station and improved transportation economy.Then economy analysis of four configurations of laying two pipelines in one ditch is performed.By comparing the results of four conditions,the interval between two pipelines of 1.2 m is found to save the energy most efficiently,which is as large as 26.6%compared with that of laying two pipelines in two separate ditches.In addition,narrowing the pipeline interval and extending the distance between heating stations is beneficial to save heating energy.This study is expected to provide valuable guidance for operation optimization of heated crude oil pipelines.

成品油管道与热原油管道同沟敷设技术研究

同沟敷设管道中成品油管道和原油管道间的传热对原油管道的运行有一定的影响。采用非结构化有限容积法,对成品油和原油管道内复杂的流动和传热问题进行了数值模拟。为了确定同沟敷设成品油管道对原油管道的影响,对相同条件下单独敷设的原油管道进行了水力和热力计算,并与同沟敷设管道的计算结果进行了对比。结果表明,两条管道的间距取1.2m时,原油管道沿线温度受成品油管道的影响较小。

两种不同并行敷设热力影响对比研究

油气管道敷设中存在两种并行敷设方式,输油管道并行敷设和油气管道并行敷设。受焦耳汤姆逊效应和管径差别等因素的影响,油气管道并行敷设与两条输油管道并行敷设热力影响情况有所不同。本文采用有限差分法和有限容积法相结合的数值计算方法研究了这两种不同并行敷设热力影响的区别。
