efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) surfactant solutions. the variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. the d...

this paper presents efflux time experiments performed in the absence and presence of aqueous solutions of drag reducing agents (dras) when a liquid is emptied from a large open cylindrical storage tank through an exit piping system. the drag reducing agents studied are dodecyl benzene sulfonate anionic surfactant and a mixed solution of surfactant and sodium chloride counter ion. the variables ...

The anechoic assumption has long been used for the modeling of long exit pipes or ducts of acoustic elements [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Especially in compressor discharge line modeling, the exhaust pipe from the compressor manifold leading all the way to the condenser is usually assumed to be anechoic since it is very long. Also, experimental efforts have been made by investigators using different ...

The outlet feeder pipe thinning in a PHWR (Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor) is caused by high pressure steam flow inside the pipe, which is a well known degradation mechanism called FAC (Flow Assisted Corrosion). In order to monitor the degradation, the thickness of the outlet bends closed to the exit of the pressure tube should be measured and analyzed at every official overhaul. This paper de...

Culex quinquefasciatus Say mosquitoes flourish in belowground stormwater systems in the southern United States. Recent evidence suggests that oviposition-site-seeking females may have difficulties locating, entering, and ovipositing inside permanent water chambers when surface entry through pickholes in manhole covers are sealed. It remains unknown, however, if newly emerged adults are able to ...

In this study the influence of the exit tube geometry on the overall flow properties of cyclones is investigated using detached eddy simulation. The results for different exit pipe shapes and lengths reveal that under certain conditions the outlet has an upstream effect on the flow behaviour within the cyclone. This can in turn result in poor build-up of swirl in the crucial region of the cyclo...
