Pipeline diameter calculation
Thread Content
The nitrogen buffer tank has a volume of 20 m3 and a pressure of 2.8 Mpag. The furnace has a volume of 4.9 m3 with an initial pressure of 0 barg. The buffer tank supplies gas to the furnace, and it is required that the furnace’s pressure reach 2.2 Mpag within 1 minute. What diameter should be chosen for the gas supply pipeline? Which expert can help calculate it?

Using a DN100 (OD114) pipe is more or less the same (for reference only). I wonder what diameter you will choose in the end?
