Thermal Impact of the Product Pipeline on the Oil Temperature of the Crude Pipeline Laid in the Same Ditch in Batch Transportation

The impact of the product pipeline on the oil temperature of the crude pipeline is one of the crucial technical issues in construction of the West Crude Oil and Product Pipelines.The thermal impact of the cool product pipeline on the crude pipeline during batch pipelining is studied in this paper.The study result displays that the thermal impact of product pipeline on the crude pipeline in batch pipelining is to a small extent when West Pipeline is running under normal operation condition.
