The single-phase flow and thermal performance of a double pipe heat exchanger are examined by experimental methods. The working fluid is water at atmospheric pressure. Temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the two streams and also at an intermediate point half way between the inlet and outlet is made, using copper-constantan thermocouple wires. Mass flow rates for each stream are ...

in our search for new anticancer medicinal plants, the antiproliferative activity of the methanol extract of daphne mucronata (thymelaeaceae) was evaluated using human myelogenous leukemia k562 cells. the cells responded to plant treatments in a dose dependent manner and the ic50 of the crude extract (equivalent to 1 g of plant leaves powder per ml) and the purified active component were found ...

reservoir models with many grid blocks suffer from long run time; it is hence important to deliberatea method to remedy this drawback. usual upscaling methods are proved to fail to reproduce fine gridmodel behaviors in coarse grid models in well proximity. this is attributed to rapid pressure changesin the near-well region. standard permeability upscaling methods are limited to systems with lin...

Flow visualization techniques using tracer markers such as die, smoke, hydrogen bubbles, etc., have been widely used in experimental investigations of large scale structures of a variety of flow fields. They have played an important role in understanding the physics of the coherent structures' formation and evolution in the transitional as well as the turbulent regions of the flow fields. Howev...

The purpose of this paper is to explore a viscous two-phase liquid-gas model relevant for well and pipe flow. Our approach relies on applying suitable modifications of techniques previously used for studying the single-phase isothermal Navier-Stokes equations. A main issue is the introduction of a novel two-phase variant of the potential energy function needed for obtaining fundamental a priori...

This paper presents several test cases intended to be benchmarks for numerical schemes for single-phase fluid flow in fractured porous media. A number of solution strategies are compared, including a vertex and a cell-centered finite volume method, a non-conforming embedded discrete fracture model, a primal and a dual extended finite element formulation, and a mortar discrete fracture model. Th...
