Ideas For Finding the Leaks in Oil Pipes in the Ocean

This is a continuation of the last post from a student in china's papers on pressures for oil pipes.

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ace/2010/638967.html

I'm just looking up the terminology and posting it, perhaps this will help with the oil spill problem in seeking to find where the biggest leaks are and then finding a way to curb the pressure so the oil leaking will slow down somehow in less than 3 months time.

Reading pressure in pipes - can this technology be used?

Doppler Flow Meter
Measure oil in a pipe?

3. Some flowmeters measure in velocity (ft/sec). How can I convert the readings to volume/time?

GPM= 2.45 * (ID in inches)² * (VELOCITY in ft/sec) GPM= gallons per minute ID = inside diameter of the pipe in inches. This formula is for water—it does not consider viscosity, temperature, or pressure. However, temperature, viscosity, and pressure will not effect a doppler flow reading.

4. What if my fluid is not water?

The speed of sound through water is approximately 1470 ft/sec. Most instruments are calibrated for that rate. Other fluids may be used, but your instrument should then be recalibrated.

7. Does a doppler flowmeter require a minimum upstream straight pipe length?

Yes. Doppler flowmeters require ten pipe diameters from any valve, tee, bend, etc. Doppler flowmeters also require a full pipe flow.

8. What are the advantages of using a doppler flowmeter?

—non-invasive —good for slurries, aerated liquids —portable

9. What are the limitations of using a doppler flowmeter?

—not suitable for clean liquids —requires straight upstream piping

Mass Flowmeters

1. How does a mass flowmeter work?

A volume of gas has a known mass at standard conditions. As pressure and temperature are applied, the volume will change, but the mass remains constant. Mass flowmeters measure flow based on the molecular mass of the gas; this measurement is independent of temperature and pressure. One technique to measure mass flow is to send a part of the flow through a sensor tube. In the tube, the gas is heated in a coil and then measured downstream. The temperature differential is directly related to the mass flow.

2. Can a mass flowmeter give a total accumulation of gas?

Yes, most mass flowmeters have outputs of either 0-5 VDC or 4-20 mA. To monitor total accumulation, connect a totalizer/monitor with a matching input ( 0-5 VDC or 4-20 mA).

Water Temperatures in the Ocean - How to lower it to 16 degrees to solidify vinegar

Ideas on how to lower the temp in the ocean to solidify the vinegar once the oil sticks to it.

what if you dump salt in the same area as the vinegar will it create more density (sea salt) making the temperature lower?

Measuring earth's conditions can this be used in the ocean to look for pressure points for the oil?

If it's leaking 200,000 gallons per day (reported on CNN) then it must have a form of pressure pushing it. Look for where the greatest pressure would be in the oil network and you will find where it's spilling into the Ocean.

Ideas to Stop Oil Slick from Spreading in Gulf of Mexico - Dear President Barack Obama

http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/theideagirl/gGGVYc

I've posted an idea with some scientific evidence about how to fix this oil spill and stop it from spreading.

The question is can you use vinegar to contain the oil since it will stick to it, and what attracts vinegar or helps to solidify it?
