Abstract: | A system of equations describing the transient, nonisothermal flow of gas in pipelines is considered, and the effect of the terms characterizing the change in the velocity head on the character of the solution is analyzed. A comparison is drawn between the numerical solution of these equations with and without allowing for the changes in the velocity head, and some corresponding estimates of the differences between these are presented.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 19, No. 4, pp. 748–754, October, 1970. |
