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...

multiphase flows are commonly encountered in oil and gas industries. the transport of multiphase flow causes the formation of slug, the increase of pressure drop and the possibility of phase changes therefore, a set of simulation runs was performed to predict flow regimes in a horizontal pipeline, and the results were compared with the baker chart. the effects of small downward inclinations of ...

A theoretical investigation of factors affecting the gas phase transport of evaporating organic liquids in the unsaturated zone is presented. Estimates of density-dfiven advective gas flow using a simple analytic expression indicate that significant advective gas flow will result from the evaporation of volatile liquids in soils having a high permeability. Numerical simulations using a two-dime...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
