This spreadsheet will calculate the density of a two-phase fluid in a rigid pipe, the erosion velocity, the required

area for 1000

bbl of liquid per day, the total area required for the rate of flow of liquid, and the minimum inner diameter required to avoid
erosion due to liquid flow in the line. In the yellow cells, fill in the values for the variables in the blue cells and the listed criteria
will appear in the green cells to the right.
