Electromagnetic flow meters based on the principles of Faraday’s laws of induction have been used successfully in many industries. The conventional electromagnetic flow meter can measure the mean liquid velocity in axisymmetric single phase flows. However, in order to achieve velocity profile measurements in single phase flows with non-uniform velocity profiles, a novel Imaging Electromagnetic ...

In thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. In this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. The model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. Using ...

− The precise measurement of the flow rate of natural gas is of vital economical importance since natural gas contributes highly to the total energy mix. In this paper we report about a laser Doppler velocity profile sensor specifically designed to suit the measurement conditions at the optical test facility of the German natural gas flow rate standard. The profile sensor is an extension of the...

This study employed grain dynamic models to examine the density distribution of debris discs, and discussed the effects of the collisional time-intervals of asteroidal bodies, the maximum grain sizes, and the chemical compositions of the dust grains of the models, in order to find out whether a steady out-moving flow with an 1/R profile could be formed. The results showed that a model with new ...

Background: In this paper, the heat and mass transfer of MHD nanofluid squeezing flow between two parallel plates are investigated. In squeezing flows, a material is compressed between two parallel plates and then squeezed out radially. The significance of this study is the hydrothermal investigation of MHD nanofluid during squeezing flow. The affecting parameters on the flow and heat transfer ...

The separation efficiencies of three different asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) channel designs were evaluated using polystyrene latex standards. Channel breadth was held constant for one channel (rectangular profile), and was reduced either linearly (trapezoidal profile) or exponentially (exponential profile) along the length for the other two. The effective void volumes of the...
