This research specifically looks to validate the performance of the GERG-2008 Equation of State (EoS) using Simcenter Flomaster against several other well established models from the cubic, virial, and 'molecular-based' families which remain prevalent and widely employed in the oil and gas sector and academia.
The study intends to scrutinize and highlight potential pitfalls associated with models like Benedict-Webb-Rubin (BWR), Soave-Redlich, and Peng-Robinson. These models, while commonly employed, are evaluated for their performance in the context of hydrogen pipeline operations. Special emphasis is placed on uncovering any limitations or challenges posed by these models and highlighting the potential catastrophic consequences that may arise from their application in hydrogen pipeline systems. By systematically exploring and comparing these models, the research aims to contribute valuable insights into the reliability and suitability of the GERG-2008 EoS in comparison to other prevalent equations of state, especially when dealing with the intricacies of hydrogen transport.
