Series Pipelines
Consider an L mile long, DA, inch internal diameter
pipeline operating with a total pressure drop of p1 p2 psi.
This pipeline is altered by replacing the first LB miles with a
DB inch internal diameter line (Figs. 7.6a and 7.6b). If the
total pressure drop in the new system is p1 p2, what is the
capacity of the new series pipeline?

The volume flow rate qh of gas that will flow for given
values of p1, p2, g, T, and Z can be calculated using eq. (748) with LAeq DA.
