<![CDATA[A single phase flow model has been developed for gas distribution pipeline networks.The model is developed based on looped-system approach with some modifications. In thismodel, a equation of State model is implemented for predicting the gas properties requiredfor the goveming equations of the network system. By utilizing the Linear Theory Method,the Panhandle’s single phase gas flow model is implemented in this model to predict thehydrodynamic variables in each leg of the network using the iterative technique which isdeveloped in this study. A generalization of the single phase network model is providedthereby making it possible for the single flow model used to be replaced by another onethat may be rnore applicable for a particular situation. Using the iterative procedure devel-oped, pressure at all nodes, gas flow rate at each leg can be predicted. The test resultsdemonstrate that the model can serve as a predictive and design tool for solving a singlephase gas flow problem in pipeline network.]]>
