U-bend is widely used as a pipe fitting in heat exchangers, but the flow and heat transfer of
supercritical fluid in and following a U-bend have not been well understood yet. This work …

Combining fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors and finite element simulation analysis, an
online monitoring method for non-invasive distributed flow velocity in pipelines has been …

The influence of elbow curvature on the flow field of a 90° elbow was studied experimentally
to understand the flow and turbulence structure in the elbow using planar and stereo particle …

Purpose Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is the most commonly used
numerical approach to simulate fluid flow behaviour. Owing to its computationally, cost …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) of a single-phase, turbulent flow in a 90 pipe bend are
performed at three Reynolds numbers (5300, 27 000, and 45 000) to investigate the …

During the crude oil refining process, the piping system suffers a lot of corrosion damage at
the elbows due to complex chemical reactions. This work aimed to investigate the effects of …

The present work deals with the evaluation of three novel ionic liquids (ILs): triethylmethyl
ammonium laurate (TAL), triethylmethyl ammonium anthranilate (TAA) and triethylmethyl …

To understand the mass transfer mechanism of 90° elbows, a comparative study of mass
transfer measurements and oil-flow visualization with image analysis is carried out for long …

Elbow pipe is one of the components in pipeline transportation. The impact force caused by
the liquid flow in the pipe elbow produces the strain on the wall. So, the monitoring of impact …

The mass transfer distribution and flow separation behavior in a 90° short elbow (radius to
diameter ratio 1.0) were investigated experimentally in the Reynolds number range Re=(3 …
