Abstract: Solid particle erosion has been a long-standing concern in oil-and-gas production and transportation systems, particularly in elbows of pipelines. Since it is difficult to exactly reproduce field conditions in the laboratory ...

Abstract: A mechanistic model of film movements is developed based on the treatments on the annular flow field. The initial conditions at the inlet are determined by adopting a validated film thickness correlation of fully developed ...

Abstract: The movement and distribution of each phase in annular flow can be considered as random events at a microscopic level. Hence, a probability analysis is appropriate to estimate the morphological features and mechanical ...

Abstract: Wear failure of the slipper pair limits axial piston pump life. Most of the current slipper wear models ignore or assume certain factors, resulting in poor calculation accuracy. To better reveal the lubrication and wear ...

Abstract: The slipper pair accelerated degradation test has a long cycle time, high cost, a lack of mechanism explanation, and cannot illustrate the correspondence of wear-rate under different pressures, and there is an urgent need ...
