Title: Programmable calculator uses equation to figure steady-state gas-pipeline flow

Because it is accurate and consistent over a wide range of variables, the Colebrook-White (C-W) formula serves as the basis for many methods of calculating turbulent flow in gas pipelines. Oilconsult reveals a simple way to adapt the C-W formula to calculate steady-state pipeline flow using the TI-59 programmable calculator.
