Abstract: A reliability based approach is presented for the minimum mass design of gear trains. The gear train is idealized as a weakest link kinematic chain and the optimum design is sought for a ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the pressure drop characteristics and flow patterns during downward vertical flow of lube oil-water as well as kerosene-water through a circular glass conduit have been ...

Abstract: It has been noted that a volume of lighter liquid when injected into a stationary column of a heavier liquid, it rises up as a simple elongated Taylor bubble. In the present study, experimental ...

Abstract: In the present work, extensive experiments have been carried out on air-water upflow through concentric annuli to identify the distribution of the two phases in the bubbly, slug, and churn ...

Abstract: In this paper the transition boundaries between different flow regimes during cocurrent upflow of gas liquid two-phase mixture through concentric annuli has been predicted theoretically. On the ...
