The conventional measurement method can no longer guarantee the accuracy requirement after the oilfield development entering high water cut stage, due to the water content and gas phase in the flow. In order to overcome the impact of measurement deviation the oilfield productionmanagement, the flow field of three-phase separator is studied numerically in this paper using Fluent 6.3.26. Taking i...

Maximization of flow through the network has remained core issue in the field of optimization. In this paper a new advanced network problem is introduced, i.e., a multi-commodity network with a separator. This network consists of several sub-networks linked through a commodity separator. The objective is to maximize the flow of the commodity of interest from the commodity mixture at the output ...

conclusions all paddle-boarding injuries were sustained by individuals who surf waves on a paddle-board, rather than paddle on calm water. despite concerns, paddle-board related injuries only accounted for 1% of 326 injuries suffered by surfers. we suggest equipment and practice modifications that may decrease the risk for injury and challenge the anecdotal theory that paddle-boarding injuries ...

The relatively new technology of rotary gas-liquid separation has been advanced by the development of a rotating centrifugal separator closely coupled to a centrifugal turbocompressor. This development by a major equipment manufacturer included the creation and calibration of an integrated design suite, and the use of this tool to optimize a separator/compressor stage. The compression and separ...

The high-speed swirling flow field in the cyclone oil-gas separator will cause the breakup of oil droplets, thus reducing the separation efficiency. In this paper, the performance of an oil-gas cyclone separator was investigated through both numerical simulations and experiments with considering the breakup of oil droplets in oil-gas cyclone separators. The gas flow field was simulated using th...

Control of Particulate matter (PM) emission is a key pollution issue affecting the environment and human health, especially sizes that range below 10 μm. The objective of this work is to develop a dust flow separator type electrostatic precipitator (DFS-ESP) for the effective control of fine particulate matter emission from natural gas combustion. An experiment was conducted for natural gas com...

This letter presents the design, development, and experimental assessment of a soft fluidic actuator that can enable locomotion in variety aquatic terrestrial environments. Most actuation strategies for amphibious rely on rigid, fast moving components to generate thrust tractive forces. Our prototype, comprising materials, relying simple motion planning control strategies, demonstrates two gait...
