" This is a compelling argument—I mean the part about inferring from those energy savings that the flow must have been made laminar, or such savings would not have been possible in turbulent flow conditions. Intuitively that seems to make perfect sense. "
Midstream pump station churn up turbulent flows and this is the first time we are hearing of what exactly the operational feature of the AOT. Namely a conversion from turbulent to laminar flows. Most pipeline muultipumping sites like Rock station involve 3-5 large Electric pumps kicking out high pressurized turbulent flows. It sounds to me TCP didn't see the same results as the suggested. If they did there is no way they wouldn't execute a lease option for 20-60K a month. I know longs have a pat answer but this amount is peanuts.... a day or two electric bill for one of these stations. I would bet some sort of clarification will be made shortly by Tao or the company.
So now the condensate question comes into play. Why move to a fluid that doesn't really need a viscosity reduction? Its funny how it's always the next iteration that promises to make you millions in pennyland.
Hi Alkalinesolution, I agree. If it's true its revolutionary. I'll have a look at the equations for laminar and turbulent flow, do some calculations and see if there are insights that can help our understanding. Will take a little time and then I'll be in touch.
