Based on the theories of thermal elasticity mechanics and nonlocal elasticity, an elastic Bernoulli–Euler beam model is developed for thermal-mechanical vibration and buckling instability of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) conveying fluid and resting on an elastic medium. The finite element method is adopted to obtain the numerical solutions to the model. The effects of temperature chan...

According to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. One important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. Conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...

in order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. the test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and froude number is presented. it is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inner t...

As a representative fluid-transporting system, fluid-conveying pipes play an essential role in many fields. For pipe system operation, fluid pulsation contains much information about flow parameters (flow velocity, pressure, etc.). Therefore, the measurement of is important for understanding internal flow. To use polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric film sensors to indirectly measure pr...
