Abstract: Under slug flow conditions, electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) show a low efficiency due to Taylor bubbles, which cause pressure surging and gas pockets and the further deterioration of pressure boosting ability. In this ...

Abstract: This paper presents a physicsbased analysis to quantitatively describe the effects of grain size, grain boundaries, and crystallographic orientation on the flow stress of the polycrystalline material and thereby on the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effects of crystallography on the microscale machining characteristics of polycrystalline brittle materials on a quantitative basis. It is believed that during micromachining of brittle materials, ...
