Does anyone have experience with hydrogen transmission pipeline design?
I am working on a 50 mile long hydrogen transmission pipeline and trying to determine pipe diameter. Pressure drop is not the controlling factor for my case. I just want to know if there is any recommended velocity criteria for hydrogen pipelines. Based on API 14E or Norsok P-001, the erosional velocity could be very high. But API 14E also stated that there could be noise concern when velocity is above 60 ft/s. Should I keep the velocity below 60 ft/s? If we were only to keep the flow sub-sonic and avoid erosion, the velocity can be much higher than 60 ft/s. I also know for certain gas pipeline such as steam pipelines, people use very high velocity (e.g > 100 ft/s). How about hydrogen?
Any thought?
Thank you!
