in this study, a three–layer artificial neural network (ann) model was developed to predict the pressure gradient in horizontal liquid–liquid separated flow. a total of 455 data points were collected from 13 data sources to develop the ann model. superficial velocities, viscosity ratio and density ratio of oil to water, and roughness and inner diameter of pipe were used as input parameters of t...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most appropriate structures for diverting water in steep rivers. the problems of corrosion, deformity and clogging of the bottom racks in long term, inspires a new system of bottom intake in which a filled trench of porous media is replaced by the bottom racks. diversion of a specified amount of discharge through the porous media when void space in the ...

abstractthe understanding of water resources for the purpose of ground and surface water management as two inseparable systems is great importance. in this study by examining the time series of climatic variables (precipitation), hydrological (flow and consume) and the level of water table, the parameters associated with each other and with fluctuating water table can be realized. there was a d...

Flow separation at water intake is the main cause of head loss and flow discharge reduction. &#10As a result, study of shape and size of separation is very essential when designing an optimum water intake. Water intake is normally built with a 90 degree angle to the main channel flow direction. However, the flow structure in this type of water intake consists of large separation size along wit...

In this work, the feasibility of flow pattern and oil hold up the prediction for vertical upward oil–water two–phase flow using pressure fluctuation signals was experimentally investigated. Water and diesel fuel were selected as immiscible liquids. Oil hold up was measured by Quick Closing Valve (QCV) technique, and five flow patterns were identified using high-speed photo...

Measurements of air–water flow properties are reasonably simple in steady flows, but not so in unsteady flows. Some studies investigated periodic flows in which instantaneous data were averaged over several cycles. During the present work, new unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in sudden open channel flow surges. Unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in the wave f...
