Abstract: Cylindrical explosion containment vessels (ECVs) are widely applied in transportation, nuclear engineering, public security, and scientific research fields to ensure the safety of the staff and equipment. In this paper, a ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of the burst pressure is indispensible for the engineering design and integrity assessment of the oil and gas pipelines. A plenty of analytical and empirical equations have been proposed to predict the ...

Abstract: Compared to conventional globe valves, the pilot-control globe valve (PCGV) possesses advantages of lower energy consumption and higher space utilization. In order to analyze the effects of pilot pipe and damping orifice ...

Abstract: Pilot-control globe valve (PCGV) can use the pressure drop caused by fluid flowing through the orifice located at valve core bottom to open or close the main valve using a small pilot valve. In this paper, computational ...

Abstract: Globe valve is widely used in numerous industries, and its driving energy consumption accounts for high percentages of the whole piping system. In order to figure out novel globe valves with low energy consumption, the ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic cavitation that occurs inside valves not only increases the energy consumption burden of the whole piping system but also leads to severe damages to the valve body and the piping system with a large economic ...

Abstract: Slug flow is a common flow pattern in the liquid–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels. It is an ideal pattern for mass transfer enhancement. Many factors influence the slug formation such as the channel geometries (channel ...
