electrospinning is a method of nanofiber filter media production. by this method, it is possibleto produce media with nanofiber in the range of nanometer to micrometer. nanofibrous media provide a large specific surface area in a finite volume thus they are suitable for filtration applications. in this study, nanofiber non-woven membranes production of nylon-6 by electrospinning method is inves...

among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. in this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. al...

the fluid flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional microchannel filled with al2o3- water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity and pressure field in the momentum equations. the thermal and flow fields were analyzed using different volume fractions of nanoparticles and diffe...

the pressure drop of refrigerant r-134a flow boiling inside a horizontal tube has been investigated experimentally. the test set-up which was used in this investigation is a well instrumented vapor compression refrigeration system. these instruments are thermocouples, flow meter, pressure gauges and the pressure drop measuring apparatus. this system consisted of three electrically heated evapor...

a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

KATAPAK-S is a type of structured catalytic packing, which is used in reactive distillation processes. The dry pressure drop characteristic (the pressure drop in the absence of liquid flow) is of significant importance for the investigation of process hydrodynamics. In this paper, the dry pressure drop within the catalyst packed channels of KATAPAK-S has been investigated using Computational Fl...

brass ferrules have been used as packing in a laboratory- scale glass distillation column approaching pilot plant size because of their availability in all sizes and low cost. the available size range is such that these ferrules could also be used in industry and the results of this study could be scaled up. the performance of the new packing has been compared with the performance of glass pack...

in the present study, computational fluid dynamics (cfd) techniques and artificial neural networks (ann) are used to predict the pressure drop value (δp ) of al2o3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. δp  is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (h), inlet volumetric flow rate (qi  ), wall heat flux (qnw  ), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...
