LINE SIZE CALCULATION SUMMARY SHEET

The following formulae have been used to calculate the pressure drop for each line defined in the P&ID
and the isometric drawing

1. Mass flow calculation, Ŵ (kghr-1)

Ŵ = (p*M*V)/(R*T)
where,
p is pressure in kPa
M is molecular weight
V is volumetric flow in m3hr-1
R is universal gas constant, 8.314 kJkg-1K-1
T is temperature in K

2. Reynolds Number, Re (dimensionless) to determine flow regime for friction factor calculation

Re = (4*Ŵ)/(π*μ*D)
where,
π is constant, 3.142
μ is dynamic viscosity in centipoise, cp
D is pipe inner diameter in meter, m

3. Friction factor, f (dimensionless) calculation using simplified equation by Round [Round, Can. J.
Chem. Eng. 58, 122 (1980)]

f = 1.634*[ln(0.135*ε/D + 6.5/Re)]-2
where,
ε is pipe roughness in meter, m (0.046E-3 for steel pipes)

4. Pressure drop, ∆P (kPa) calculation using modified pressure drop equation for circular pipe

∆P = (8*f*Ŵ2*L)/(π2*D5*ρ*36002)
where,
L is pipe length or total equivalent length in meter, m
ρ is gas density, kgm-3
other definitions are same as previous formulae

Following is the summary of the pressure drop calculation for GT and HRSG piping. The definition o
line numbers refers to definition in the individual Line Size Sheet and P&ID description.

Total pressure drop for GTG system piping is 1.83% at supply pressure of 18barg. Total pressure dr
of HRSG piping before PCV letdown is 0.294% at supply pressure of 18barg. Total pressure drop of
HRSG3 piping after PCV letdown is 5.38% at supply pressure of 2barg.
