UNIT I INTRODUCTION
Introduction, widespread use, the various types, the advantages and the special features of pipelines
UNIT II MULTI PHASE FLOW IN PIPELINES
The fluid mechanics of various types of pipe flow including incompressible and compressible flows of Newtonian fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, flow of solid / liquid mixture (slurry), flow of solid / air mixture (pneumatic transport), and flow of capsules (capsule pipelines)
UNIT III TYPES OF PIPES AND ACCESSORIES
Various types of pipes (steel, concrete, PE, PVC, etc.), valves (gate, globe, ball, butterfly, etc.) and pressure regulators in pipelines, Blowers and compressors (for gases), Various kinds of flow meters, sensors, pigs (scrapers) and automatic control systems used in pipelines
UNIT IV PIPELINE PROTECTION
Various means to protect pipelines against freezing, abrasion and corrosion, such as cathodic protection, Planning, construction and operation of pipelines, including modern use of advanced technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS), directional drillings, automatic control using computers, and pipe line integrity monitoring such as leak detection.
UNIT V PIPELINE DESIGN
Structural design of pipe line load considerations and pipe deformation and failure. Economics of pipelines including life-cycle, Cost analysis and comparison of the cost effectiveness of pipelines with alternative modes of transport such as truck or railroad. Legal, safety and environmental issues about pipelines
