Pipe-flow turbulence is a problem in the transport of oil, water and other fluids, and once established, it is persistent and costly. Turbulent fluids consume greater pumping energy and can cause ...

Based on a presentation to the 4th International Pipeline Conference, Sept. 29-Oct. 3, 2002, Calgary. The research described here examined the fate of H 2 S-contaminated natural gas slugs as they ...

A new model has increased the efficiency and safety of air-exhaust procedures in the commissioning of liquids pipelines in hilly terrain. Air accumulated in a pipeline during commissioning can damage ...

As pipeline operators face increasing abrasion and erosion in high-demand applications, Amiantit Group, a publicly listed industrial group headquartered in Saudi Arabia, has launched a new ...

Recent advances in flow sensing have resulted in more accurate, durable, and economical meters. Increasingly important is the ability to interface meters with a computer for instantaneous flow readout ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...

The stress-from-heat problem involves a tube in a ceramic block. One surface of the block is uniformly heated. A first step of this sequential multiphysics analysis solves for the velocity profile.
