In this tutorial the fundamentals of non-boiling heat transfer in two-phase twocomponent gas-liquid flow in pipes are presented. The techniques used for the determination of the different gas-liquid flow patterns (flow regimes) in vertical, horizontal, and inclined pipes are reviewed. The validity and limitations of the numerous heat transfer correlations that have been published in the literat...

We focus on the detection and classification of sewer pipe junctions during the initial survey stage of a 'soft' lnsituform lining process. Estimates are obtained of the diameter and orientation of interconnecting lateral pipes: smaller diameter pipes that join the main sewer from the side. These estimates are compared to a set of likely values of each and the member of this set closest to the ...

the intension in this work is to investigate the effect of different bending manifold pipes on engine performance for different engine speed. Power, Torque, and BSFC were calculated and presented to show the effect of varying bending pipes angles on them for all cases considered. A special program used to carry out the calculations. A simulation model for 4-cylinders spark ignition engine with ...

Nondestructive evaluation of the gas pipeline system is most commonly performed using magnetic flux leakage (MF L) techniques. A major segment of this network employs seamless pipes. The data obtained from MFL inspection of seamless pipes is contaminated by various sources of noise; including seamless pipe noise due to material properties of the pipe, lift -off varia tion of MFL sensor due to m...

Three zero-order swales, each with a contributing drainage area of about 1 ha, were instrumented to measure pipeflows within the Caspar Creek Experimental Watershed in northwestern California, USA. After two winters of data collection, the second-growth forest on two of the swales was clearcut logged. The third swale remained as an uncut control. After logging, peak pipeflow was about 3.7 times...

Autonomous vehicles will not be driven by a human being. The missing of the human being will make the vehicles less inspected because a human being often listens to the engine and its sounds. A passenger in an autonomous vehicle usually does other things and even sleeps, so the human inspection on the engine and on the pipes system will not be effective. This paper suggests a system that alerts...

First discharge calculations are carried out to set release characteristics for the hazardous chemical (including depressurisation to ambient). Scenarios which may be modelled includes releases from vessels (leaks or catastrophic ruptures), short pipes or long pipes and releases of combustion products following a warehouse fire. Released considered include releases of sub-cooled liquid, superhe...

A finite-difference procedure is employed to predict the development of turbulent flow in curved pipes. The turbulence model used involves the solution of two differential equations, one for the kinetic energy of the turbulence and the other for its dissipation rate. The predicted total-velocity contours for the developing flow in a 180’ bend are compared with the experimental data. Predictions...

Alias Limited, market leader for piping isometric software, today announced the availability of I-View, a 3D pipe visualization tool. I-View is capable of handling single or multiple pipes from any 3D plant design system supporting ISOGEN. Even piping ® les from diå erent systems can be viewed as a single model. This new module now provides I-Sketch users with the ability to view pipes in true ...
