... separation at the horn. This is observed from a closer view of the flow streamlines in Fig. 17 . The streamlines in Fig. 17 indicate separating/reattaching flow between sections 9 and 11 on the suction side of the iced blade while the flow is smooth on the clean one. Pressure distribution plots show...

..., temperature, and flow rate. Because of its auto calibration capability, DDS can also perform real-time calibration for sensor configuration changes caused by factors such as corrosion and erosion. In this section, oil and water are separately stored in two tanks (Fig. 2 ). Each tank is connected to PD...

...John Shelton; John Rogers Smith; Anuj Gupta A dual gradient, deepwater drilling system based on dilution of riser mud requires economically separating the riser mud into a low density dilution fluid and a higher density drilling fluid. This study investigated the practicality of accomplishing...

... studied. Pressure and pressure drop inside hydrocyclones were measured and analyzed. The effect of main operating parameters, such as split ratio and rotation speed, on hydrocyclonic separation performance was also studied. It is shown that the rise of split ratio is beneficial for enhancing...

Mohan; Ovadia Shoham; Gene Kouba This study investigates theoretically and experimentally the slug damper as a novel flow conditioning device, which can be used upstream of compact separation systems. In the experimental part, a 3 in. ID slug...

...Ferhat M. Erdal; Siamack A. Shirazi The use of Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLLC © ) separators for gas-liquid separation is a new technology for oil and gas industry. Consequently, it is important to understand the flow behavior in the GLLC © and the effect of different geometrical geometries...
