This study presents 2-D simulations of a flow-through sudden expansion/contraction micro-channel with the existence obstacles. The bottom wall is maintained at constant flux, while other walls are adiabatic. Rectangular adiabatic obstacles mounted before expansion region on upper and lower channel used. finite element method was used to discretize equations that govern physical model. Results i...

Erosion rates were measured along the length of a tubular flow cell of type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel (SS) carrying dilute slurries of silica sand (0.43 mm diam) and smooth glass beads of a similar size. The segmented test cell contained a sudden constriction, a sudden expansion, and a groove to produce disturbed flow conditions. Erosion rates were reduced by changes in the cell wall geo...
