One of the limitations of pipelines performance and structural integrity assessment is the continuous inspection of possible leaks due to corrosion or other types of failure mechanisms. Efforts to develop new technologies started several decades ago where different inspection techniques ... Read More
Currently, there are approximately 3,400 deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) having depths greater than 150 meters, and a worldwide undiscovered deepwater reserves estimated to exceed 200 billion barrels and 25% of the total US reserves (BOEM, 2016), while others are in regions ...

A comparison of the commercial code COMSOL is performed with the bench-mark solutions provided by the literature for a tall, differentially heated rectangular cavity for aspect ratios of 8, 15, 20, and 33. At small Rayleigh numbers the flow is dominated by conduction. As the Rayleigh ... Read More
The global demand for sulfuric acid has been forecast to grow at an average of 2.6% per year from 2005 – 2010. The primary objective of this work is to analyze the performance of various heterogeneous catalyst shapes that have been proposed for the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 used in the ... Read More
The mass and recoverability of oil and gas in unconventional reservoirs strongly depend on the understanding the petrophysical properties of the rocks at a large range of scales. Three-dimensional imaging is capable of unveiling the detailed microstructures within the rocks down to the ... Read More
To maintain same droplet size across parallel devices, new break-up strategies based on geometry are been studied. In this work, we model a geometrically-set droplet generator, in which the droplet break-up occurs by a block and break mechanism. In other words when the disperse phase ... Read More
The main focus of the present study is the parametric investigation of the influence of viscosity on breakup dynamics of the non-Newtonian sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) droplets. It presents the numerical simulations of the fluid dynamics of CMC droplets with shear-thinning ... Read More
The use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) as shaft generators is not new in marine vessels propulsion drive trains. Due to risk of fires in stator windings by internal faults, DNV GL requires the shaft generator to be electrically dead without losing propulsion. This ... Read More
Fin tube heat exchangers are widely used in air conditioning systems. Various fin structures have been proposed and studied in literature to enhance their heat transfer performance. However, enhancement in heat transfer is often accompanied by pressure drop penalty. This study utilized a ... Read More
