APPLICATION OF THE QUADRUPOLE THEORY TO CALCULATING A RESISTIVE DC ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM FOR OIL FLOWLINES
The paper considers a resistive DC electric heating system for an oil flowline. The system consists of two low-resistance conductors connected to the power supply. At the same time the low-resistance conductors are connected to heating high-resistance conductors wound around the pipeline. Using the quadrupole theory, the problem of determining the system's parameters is solved, which ensures the specified heat flow density along the length of the pipeline
