Abstract The supply of hydrogen-blended natural gas to civil and industrial users can assist downstream firm to achieve carbon emission reduction, and ensure energy security as an alternative gas source. This application mode has been widely concerned by urban gas enterprises. This paper focuses on the leakage problem of hydrogen-blended pipelines in utility tunnel due to corrosion and other reasons. Using dimensional analysis method, a model experiment is designed to verify that the three-dimensional compressible fluid model coupled with transport equations can effectively simulate the concentration change of hydrogen-blended natural gas after leakage in the utility… More >

Abstract In the low and medium pressure urban gas pipe network, transporting the hydrogen-blended natural gas through polyethylene pipe is an important means to realize the large-scale delivery and utilization of hydrogen-blended natural gas. However, due to the characteristics of polymer material, polyethylene pipes will experience aging phenomenon, which will lead to the deterioration of performance and eventually result in brittle damage and failure. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze and predict the lifetime of polyethylene pipe due to the aging in the hydrogen-blended natural gas environment to ensure the safe transportation.
