Abstract: Continuous flow gas lift is one of the most common artificial lift methods widely used in the oil industry. A continuous volume of high-pressure gas is injected as deep as possible into the ...

Abstract: A relatively simple, four-parameter extended hyperbolic model for interfaces was developed for use in soil-structure interaction analyses. The model accommodates arbitrary stress path directions and includes three important ...

Abstract: Snowpack accumulates water and acid anions from atmospheric deposition. During the snowmelt, the rapid release of acid anions can cause an episodic pH depression in surface water. The potential for the snowmelt to acidify ...

Abstract: To achieve maximum efficiency in water pressurized transport, it is necessary to perform a global analysis, whenever possible starting from the system’s conception. The first stage of the process is the network layout, the ...

Abstract: This study investigates theoretically and experimentally the slug damper as a novel flow conditioning device, which can be used upstream of compact separation systems. In the experimental part, ...

Abstract: A novel gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC© , ©The University of Tulsa, 1994), equipped with an annular film extractor (AFE), for wet gas applications has been developed and studied ...

Abstract: A summary of all available correlations and mechanistic models for the prediction of slug liquid holdup is presented. Additionally, an experimental data base for slug liquid holdup has been ...
