A three-phase flow model with hybrid miscibility constraints is proposed: three immiscible phases are considered (liquid water, liquid metal and gas) but the gaseous phase composed two miscible components (steam water non-condensable gas). The modelling approach based on building of an entropy inequality for system partial differential equations: once interfacial velocity given by user, uniquel...

gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. they are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, churn an...

Two mismatch functions (power or current) and three coordinates (polar, Cartesian and complex form) result in six versions of the Newton–Raphson method for the solution of power flow problems. In this paper, five new versions of the Newton power flow method developed for single-phase problems in our previous paper are extended to three-phase power flow problems. Mathematical models of the load,...

this paper presents the effect of high viscosity oil and two-phase foamy-oil flow on the performance of a single stage centrifugal pump. as a part of this, the applicability of a pipe viscometer to determine the foamy oil viscosity is investigated. unlike previous studies, a sealed fluid tank is used in a closed flow loop to allow conditioning the two-phase mixture to create foamy-oil. furtherm...

in this paper, a cfd model of syngas flow in slurry bubble column was developed. the model is based on an eulerian-eulerian approach and includes three phases: slurry of solid particles suspended in paraffin oil and syngas bubbles. numerical calculations carried out for catalyst particles, bubble coalescence and breakup included bubble-fluid drag force and interfacial area effects. also, the ef...

nowadays, with the industry development, a lot of waste is produced damaging the environment. among wastewater treatment methods, anaerobic techniques have been highly regarded due to numerous advantages. in anaerobic systems, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactor has many features. in this study using computational fluid dynamics techniques, three-phase reactor hydrodynamics in two an...
