Discover new trends in oily wastewater reclamation
Refiners can find profits by ‘upgrading’ treatment and recycling process water
HP Reliability: Not ready for 29-year-old pump packing
In 2009 we were informed about “a nuclear plant that was never commissioned after its original construction. This plant has been sitting idle for 29 years and is only now starting up.” The o..
Solve liquid-hammer problems
Here are several options
New explicit friction factor equation for turbulent flow in smooth pipes
A simple, explicit and high-accuracy equation is presented
A support vector classification method for regime identification of slurry transport in pipelines
Statistical analysis showed the proposed solution has an average misclassification error of only 1.5%
Estimate water hammer loads in steam piping
The problem is more complicated because of the two-phase flow
Explicit friction factor correlations for turbulent fluid flow in noncircular ducts and polymeric fluids
New equation provides highly accurate estimates
New explicit friction factor equation for turbulent flow in rough pipes
It is more reliable and accurate than existing equations
Minimize power consumption in slurry transport
Accurately predict critical velocity
An improved experimental correlation for Darcy friction factor
The pressure drop estimate may be on the unsafe side when using the traditional Moody chart
