Modelling of Non-Equilibrium Water Condensation in Natural Gas Flowing Through Joule-Thomson Valve

As raw natural gas exits from oil and gas reservoirs, it is normally saturated with liquid and/or water vapour. Conventionally, a few technologies are used to reduce the water content, including dehydration using throttling valve in which the Joule-Thomson effect is applied. However, most of the cur...
