In this chapter we shall introduce a new and practical method for two-phase flow rate measurement, which is known as flow division and separation method. As its name suggested, a two-phase flow is measured by diverting a small fraction of the total stream to a division loop and metering it with the separation means. This method has been developed in Xi’an jiaotong university since the end of la...

We consider a kinetic-fluid model with random initial inputs which describes disperse two-phase flows. In the light particle regime, using energy estimates, we prove the uniform regularity in the random space of the model for random initial data near the global equilibrium in some suitable Sobolev spaces, with the randomness in the initial particle distribution and fluid velocity. By hypocoerci...

in this study, gas evolution in a vertical electrochemical cell is investigated numerically with a modified two-fluid model. the mathematical model involves solution of separate transport equation for the gas and liquid phases with an allowance to inter-phase transfer of mass and momentum. the governing equations are discreted via the finite volume technique and then are solved by the simple al...

computational fluid dynamics (cfd) simulations of gas-solid flow through a positive low-pressure pneumatic conveyor were performed using eulerian-eulerian framework. pressure drop in pneumatic conveying pipelines, creation and destruction of plugs along the horizontal and vertical pipes, effect of 90° elbows and u-bends on cross-section concentrations, and rope formation and dispersion were num...

Online discussion forum (ODF) has been touted to enrich the process of acquiring, sharing and exchanging knowledge among students and has increasingly being utilized to complement the conventional ways of teaching. Despite the widespread recognition of the benefits brought about by ODF, antecedent evidence indicates that the forum may not be utilized to its full potential due to lower than expe...

The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...
