The difference between isothermal and adiabatic line pressure drop calculations for several compressible fluids is determined. Eight fluids were selected for testing: methane, ethane, propane, a pseudogas, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and steam. The system used for pressure drop calculation is a 1,000 ft line of two to 12 in line size. Pressure drop is calculated at three pressure levels: exit pressure from the line is fixed at 1,000 psig, 500 psig and 50 psig.
