The paper present the determination of the state parameters of natural gas at the pipeline inlet based on knowledge of the pressure and temperature at the receiving point. Natural gas transport will be carried out through an offshore section of a transmission pipeline. The equations of the Fanno flow model will be used to describe the thermodynamic parameters of the gas in the flow lines. The mathematical equations of the flow mentioned above models have been derived from an analysis of the mass, energy and momentum balance equations. They also take into account the viscous friction forces in the transported gas. Based on the carried out calculations, changes in the Mach number, pressure and velocity of methane transported along the analysed pipeline were determined. In addition, the total entropy gain in the analysed methane flow was determined. The novelty of the calculations presented is the use of the Fanno flow model, which considers a realistic adiabatic gas flow. This is in contrast to the isothermal flow model, which assumes an unchanging temperature of the transported gas. In the case under consideration, the adopting model was possible because of the similar temperature values of the gas flowing in the pipeline and the corresponding temperature values of the surrounding seawater. The fundamental advantage of the Fanno flow model is that it satisfies the mass balance of the flowing gas in each cross-section. Thus, the product of the velocity and density of the gas in a pipeline of constant diameter assumes a constant value.
