Estimation of Energy Consumption Index in Normal and Opposite Direction Transporting

Estimation methods and programs on energy consumption index in production are introduced, it is special for the pipeline on which transporting in normal or opposite direction in order to maintain the lowest allowed throughput, reducting the transportation amount in opposite direction. The determination of coefficients A_m, B_m, and C_m in formulas is based on the operation of Qinjing Pipeline (see table). The author concluded that the estimation methods described are easy and convenient with the help of computer although the indexes for both direction transportation is more troublesome than that for simple direction transportation, the data obtained may be provided a reference to compile energy consumption quotas.
