Conclusion
After constructing a Pipeline Segment Design simulation in Aspen HYSYS,
thus, you should become more familiar with the Pipe design, hydrocarbon
flow correlation selection based on pipe orientation, and Simulation interface.
Also, you should be able to evaluate the system flow assurance issues that
may take place during the production and delivery stages.
