Vibration of a flexible pipe conveying viscous pulsating fluid flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The non-linear equations of motion of a flexible pipe conveying unsteadily flowing fluid are derived from the continuity and momentum equations of unsteady flow. These partial di!erential equations are fully coupled through equilibrium of contact forces,

Influence of Particle Mass Fraction over the Turbulent Behaviour of an Incompressible Particle-Laden Flow

open access: yesFluids, 2021
The presence of spherical solid particles immersed in an incompressible turbulent flow was numerically investigated from the perspective of the particle mass fraction (PMF or ϕm), a measure of the particle-to-fluid mass ratio.

“Pipe organ” air-coupled broad bandwidth transducer [PDF]

open access: yes2017 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2017
Air-coupled transducers are used to conduct fast non-contact inspections in NDT. Normally, the bandwidth of a conventional transducer can be enhanced, but with a cost to its sensitivity. However, low sensitivity is very disadvantageous in air-coupled devices. This paper presents a methodology for improving the bandwidth of an air-coupled micro-machined

Evaluation of the effects of a load shedding at a lignite power plant

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2021
The load‐shedding scenario describes an unscheduled load reduction in a power plant so that it produces only the electricity that is needed by the plant itself. The reason for such a scenario is a collapse of power supply in the transmission network.

High-temperature ultrasonic thickness monitoring for pipe thinning in a flow-accelerated corrosion proof test facility

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
In order to monitor the pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) that occurs in coolant piping systems, a shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch-catch waveguide technique was developed for accurate pipe wall thickness monitoring.

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged.

Plastic collapse of pipe bends under combined internal pressure and in-plane bending [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Plastic collapse of pipe bends with attached straight pipes under combined internal pressure and in-plane closing moment is investigated by elastic–plastic finite element analysis.

Experimental Investigation on the Acoustic Scattering Matrix for a Centrifugal Pump

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
Fluid-dynamic noise in centrifugal pumps as a significant sound source in piping systems has gained high attention due to the requirements of vibration and noise reduction in many fields. The acoustic characteristics of the fluid-dynamic noise from pumps

Review on the current state of developing of advanced Creep Damage Constitutive Equations for high Chromium Alloy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a review of developing of creep damage constitutive equations for high chromium alloy (such as P91 alloy). Firstly, it briefly introduces the background of creep damage for P91 materials.

Robust decentralized model predictive control approach for a multi-compressor system surge instability including piping acoustic

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2018
One of the major problems in modern gas compressing stations is related to surge control of compression system with multi-compressor. Due to the coupled system dynamics, standard controllers can interfere with each unit′s performance.
