Abstract: A simple model of two-phase slug flow in inclined pipes is proposed. The model parameters are determined experimentally using five different size copper pipes at 5, 10, 15 deg inclinations on ...

Abstract: Techniques to predict erosive-corrosive wear in pipes conveying single and two-phase water in low-carbon steel secondary power plant piping systems are presented. Model equations for two mechanisms, ...

Abstract: The erosion process in a 90-deg pipe elbow is studied to determine the magnitude and location of the maximum wear point. A two-dimensional, theoretical model of the erosion process is set up ...

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study on erosion of a metallic plate by solid particles entrained in a liquid jet has been performed. The test section involved a two-phase flow jet of liquid ...

Abstract: The mechanisms of steam bubble collapse-induced water hammer are identified for nominally horizontal or inclined pipes. On the basis of these observations, two methods of preventing steam bubble ...

Abstract: An instability resembling an avalanche is proposed as the mechanism by which mucus is expelled from the respiratory tract during cough. The cough event was simulated in a model airway. In ...

Abstract: Corrosion-erosion occurs in steam extraction piping made of low carbon steel that conveys wet steam. The rate of metal removal peaks at 150°C and is most severe on the inside and outside ...

Abstract: An evaluation of systems for control of fossil fuel power plant boiler and stack implosions has been performed using computer simulation techniques described in a companion paper. The simulations ...
