Abstract: This paper studied the evolution of binary droplet collision in liquid and also a mathematical calculation method of coalescence time. Binary droplet collisions occur in many engineering applications; however, the accurate ...

Abstract: The Gas–Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC©) is a simple, compact, and low-cost separator, which provides an economically attractive alternative to conventional gravity-based separators over a wide range of applications. ...

Abstract: In order to assess the critical sand deposition condition, a unique 4-in ID test facility was designed and constructed, which enables the pipe to be inclined 1.5 deg upward. Experiments were conducted with air–water-glass ...

Abstract: Oil–water dispersed flow occurs commonly in the petroleum industry during the production and transportation of crudes. Phase inversion occurs when the dispersed phase grows into the continuous phase and the continuous phase ...

Abstract: Prediction of the operational envelope (OE-limited range of gas and liquid velocities) for liquid carry-over is essential for the optimized performance of gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC©) compact separators. This ...

Abstract: Even though there have been several studies conducted by the industry on the use of different inlet devices for gas–liquid separation, there have been limited laboratory and field evaluations on the use of external piping ...

Abstract: Flow pattern transition prediction models are presented for oil–water flow in horizontal pipes. The transition between stratified and nonstratified flow is predicted using Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) stability analysis for ...
