the use of solar collectors in combination with heat pipes is rapidly growing in recent years.heat pipes, as heat transfer components, have undeniable advantages in comparison with other alternatives. the most important advantage is their high rate of heat transfer at minor temperature differences. although there have been numerous studies on the heat analysis or first thermodynamic analysis of...

The chemical stability of iron corrosion scales and the microbial community of biofilm in drinking water distribution system (DWDS) can have great impact on the iron corrosion and corrosion product release, which may result in "red water" issues, particularly under the situation of source water switch. In this work, experimental pipe loops were set up to investigate the effect of sulfate on the...

High temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is a clean energy conversion device that generates electricity directly from the electrochemical reaction. Since working about 160?C, heating and cooling mechanisms are critical factors to maintain optimal condition prevent degradation. Simulation models of high were built for investigating distribution on area cells gradient across stack....

Study patterns of flow in pipes with rough walls can be considered relevant, as the use of rough surfaces is a method of heat transfer. In the theoretical study of heat transfer processes in heat exchangers and devices used in various fields of technology, it is very important to know the basic laws of flow in rough pipes in turbulent regime. Flow patterns for rough pipes differs from the behav...

The application of mussel spat rope for enabling the passage of redfin bully Gobiomorphus huttoni through culverts, which create velocity barriers, was trialled in the laboratory. No fish were able to access the un-roped control pipes whereas 52% successfully negotiated the pipes in the rope treatments. The success of fish ascending treatment pipes suggests mussel spat rope may be effective for...

in order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. the test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and froude number is presented. it is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inner t...

Abstract Daqing Oilfield as the world’s largest application area of alkali–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding, in recent years, with increase aging wells, eccentric wear and deformation sucker rod pipe during oil production has become more serious. In order to study effect emulsion lubrication ternary composite flooding on tubing, this paper establishes a calculation model for depth tubing under...
