A numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. The continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall Reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity. The results show that at constant inlet and...

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...

Tubing circuits primed with water were constructed on two roller pumps to characterize and compare two static methods of setting the occlusion on roller pumps (fluid drop rate and pressure drop rate). Twelve separate experiments were performed in which PVC boot tubing diameters (1/2 in, 3/8 in and 1/4 in), roller position (each roller alone on a two roller pump) and roller occlusion (total occl...

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...

outdoor experiments on a once-through single glazed solar air heater with perforated metal absorber plate were conducted to determine the practical effect of absorber plate porosity as well as suction air flow rate on the collector thermal efficiency and its total pressure drop. three aluminum absorber plates were made perforated by drilling circular holes with different diameter/pitch ratios i...

release  volatile  organic  compounds  (vocs)  as  environmental  and  occupational  pollutant  cause  macro perspective affect such as climate change, humans and economic consequences. although fixed bed absorber is widely used as a controlling method because of its economically and availability, but these absorbers are facing some issue like high pressure drop, non-uniform distribution of flu...

The hydrodynamic studies of fluidized bed reactor has been reported in terms of pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity and bed volume expansion to contribute to the optimization of the CNTs production parameters in fluidized bed reactors. Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop, as the most important parameters, were taken into account for the investigation of the hydrodynamic beh...
