Different flow patterns of downward gas-liquid two-phaseflow using simple mixer are studied in an experimental manner. An experimental setup is designed and fabricated to allow the visual observation of downward two-phase flow patterns and their transitions. The flow patterns are recorded by a 1200 frames per second high speed video camera. The quality of downward two-phase flow patterns photos...

Fluid Flow during the circulation of drilling fluid is an important parameter that affects process successful lifting cuttings activities.

Two-phase flow pattern, pressure drop, and void fraction in vertical transparent pipe of x m internal diameter y length is investigated experimentally. The rig designed to achieve the measurements drop for different combinations phase superficial velocities such that regimes encountered are bubbly, slug annular, which required a wide range water air velocities.

INTRODUCTION The discharge ofliquids from vertical tubes with various con­ traction geometries was studied via the unsteady Bernoulli equa­ tion. The temporal variations of the exit velocity and fluid level in the tube were found from the numerical integration of nonlin­ ear differential equations. Sudden, quadratic, and exponential contraction geometries were considered. For inlet to exit area...

A distributed Brillouin fiber sensor has been employed to detect localized pipe-wall buckling in an energy pipe by measuring the longitudinal and hoop strain distributions along the outer surface of the pipe for the first time. The locations of the localized pipe-wall buckling are found and distinguished using their corresponding strain-load data. The formation of the buckling process for the c...

Buried water and gas pipe systems form part of critical infrastructure providing essential services to the community. In many global population centres including in Australia, this vital infrastructure has been installed several decades ago, and dealing with frequent pipe failures become a major problem. There are clear evidences that pipe failures significantly depend on pipe strains induced b...

This paper determines most common model of in-pipe robots to derive its degree of freedom in order to compare with the necessary degree of freedom required for a system to move inside pipelines freely in order to derive analytical reason for losing control of in-pipe robots at branched pipe. DOF of most common mechanism in in-pipe robots can be calculated by considering the robot as a parallel ...

Arrays of dual-sensor and four-sensor needle conductance probes have been used to measure the mean and time dependent local properties of upward inclined, bubbly oil-in-water flows (also known as dispersed oil-in-water flows) in a 153mm diameter pipe. The flow properties that were measured were (i) the local in-situ oil volume fraction α ; (ii) the local oil velocity o u in the axial direction ...
