Gas distribution network topology problem

Abstract

Problem of gas fow in looped network is nonlinear problem and these kind of problems have to be solved using some kind of iterative procedure. For the pipeline network, two topology matrices can be written; i.e. loop matrix and node matrix. The node matrix is related to the first Kirchho 's law while the loop matrix is related to second Kirchho 's law. Here will be shown effcient method in which both matrices, i.e. the node and the loop matrix are united in one coherent procedure for solution of looped gas pipeline problem.
