Line Sizing Spreadsheets-General

The document provides information for sizing a liquid line including flow rate, fluid properties, pipe length and roughness, allowable pressure drop criteria. Calculations are shown for pipe internal diameter, velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, and pressure drop using the Swamee-Jain friction factor equation. Based on the calculations, an 8 inch pipe is suitable since it meets the velocity and pressure drop criteria.
