Abstract
We consider slowly evolving, i.e. ADIABATIC, operational regime within a transmission level (continental scale) natural gas pipeline system. This allows us to introduce a set of nodal equations of reduced complexity describing gas transients in injection/consumption UNBALANCED (so-called line-pack) cases. We discuss, in details, construction of the UNBALANCED ADIABATIC (UA) approximation on the basic example of a single pipe. The UA approximation is expected to play a significant "model reduction" role in solving control, optimization and planning problems relevant for flawless functioning of modern natural gas networks.
