a high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. a variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. one of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...

the performance of a γ-al 2 o 3 /n-decane nanofluid shell-and-tube heat exchanger in a biomass heating plant is analyzed to specify the optimum condition based on the maximum heat transfer rate and performance index for wide range of nanoparticle volume fraction (0–7%). compared with pure          n-decane, the obtained results in this research show that by using γ-al 2 o 3 /n-decane nanofluid ...

Theoretical study of non-Newtonian effects of second-order fluids on the performance characteristics of inclined slider bearings is presented. An approximate method is used for the solution of the highly nonlinear momentum equations for the second-order fluids. The closed form expressions for the fluid film pressure, load carrying capacity, frictional force, coefficient of friction, and centre ...

the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the air flow over a two dimensional ribbed channel wasnumerically investigated in various rib-width ratio configurations (b/h=0.5-1.75) atdifferent reynolds numbers, ranging from 6000 to 18000. the capability of differentturbulence models, including standard k-ε, rng k-ε, standard k-ω, and sst k-ω, inpredicting the heat transfer rate was compared with the experi...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of evaporative media as gas turbine intake air cooling method on pressure drop of cartridge air filters. this study performed under the laboratory condition, using stainless steel test rig with specified dimensions to investigate the role of evaporative media in air cooling as well as its effects on new and used cartridge filters (as representati...

the forging model for cold rolling is one of rolling models that is used in rolling calculations. in this model,the final rolling pressure is an average value and it is not an accurate model.also by using this model,the firction hill curves are plotted due to the central point of the rolling bite length while frictional stresses intersect at the neutral point.in this study, a new model based on...
