Abstract: Published annular pressure drop field data have been compared with values predicted by the Bingham plastic and power law models. Several different equivalent diameter equations and friction factor ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is proposed for analyzing the thermal hydraulic behavior of wellbores and surface lines. The model discusses two-phase pressure drop and heat transfer for a variety of ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamics of isothermal, one-dimensional gas-solids suspension is theoretically analyzed. A computational model is developed. The model is applied in predicting the pressure drop distribution ...

Abstract: The analysis of gas-particle flows is complicated by the need to account for momentum and energy coupling between phases. The concept of regarding the particle phase as a source of momentum ...

Abstract: Two numerical models (CONVAS and PSI-Cell) for analyzing steady non-equilibrium gas-particle flow through a venturi and an orifice plate are discussed. These models are validated by comparing the ...

Abstract: The analysis of gas-droplet flows is complicated by the need to account for the mass, momentum, and energy coupling between phases. The concept of regarding the droplet phase as a source of ...

Abstract: Radial solid concentration profile distributions are often present in pipe flows of fine particle slurries, and play a dominant role in controlling the behavior of the flow. This paper presents ...
