3.6.6 miller_q - Miller volume flow Q
q = miller_q(p,d,v,sg=1)

Calculates the volume flow in a pipeline using the Miller equation suitable for crude oil products.

Arguments

p

Pressure drop due to friction (kPa/km  ).

d

Pipe internal diameter (m  ).

v

Liquid viscosity, centipoise.

sg

Liquid specific gravity.

Returns Volumetric flow rate (m3/h  ).
