The paper presents the results obtained during the preliminary studies of circular and rectangular ducts before testing the properties elements (elbows, tees, etc.)of rectangular with rounded corners ducts. The fundamental problem of the studies was to determine the flow rate in the ventilation duct. Due to the size of the channel it was decided to determine the flow rate based on the integration of flow velocity over the considered cross-section. This method requires knowledge of the velocity distribution in the cross section. Approximation of the measured actual profile by the classic and modified Prandtl power-law velocity profile was analysed.

The paper presents the possibilities of simplified determination of the air volumetric flow rate in ventilation ducts. This problem occurred during the tests of local losses in the elements of a new ventilation system based on ducts with a rounded rectangular cross-section. The presented method requires mathematical modelling of the flow velocity distribution in the ducts. The paper presents four models of the velocity distribution. The necessity of using so many models resulted from the wide coverage of the tested sections: Amax/Amin= 46.88.

The flow-field characteristics of high-temperature annular buoyant jets as well as the development laws influenced by ventilation system were studied using numerical methods to eliminate the pollutants effectively in this paper. The development laws of high-temperature annular buoyant jets were analyzed and compared with previous studies, including radial velocity distribution, axial velocity and temperature decay, reattachment position, cross-section diameter, volumetric flow rate, and velocity field characteristics with different pressures at the exhaust hood inlet. The results showed that when the ratio of outer diameter to inner diameter of the annulus was smaller than 5/2, the flow-field characteristics had significant difference compared to circular buoyant jets with the same outer diameter. For similar diameter ratios, reattachment in this paper occurred further downstream in contrast to previous study. Besides, the development laws of volumetric flow rate and cross-section diameter were given with different initial parameters. In addition, through analyzing air distribution characteristics under the coupling effect of high-temperature annular buoyant jets and ventilation system, it could be found that the position where maximum axial velocity occurred was changing gradually when the pressure at the exhaust hood inlet changed from 0 Pa to −5 Pa.

A common assumption for annular flow used in the petroleum industry is that the inner pipe is concentrically located inside the flow geometry; however, this is rarely the case, even in slightly deviated wells. Considering the increasing number of directional and horizontal wells, the flow behavior of drilling fluids and cement slurries in eccentric annuli is becoming particularly important. In this paper, the governing equation of laminar flow is numerically solved using a finite differences technique to obtain velocity and viscosity profiles of yield-power law fluids (including Bingham plastic and power law fluids). Later, the velocity profile is integrated to obtain flow rate. Results show that the velocity profile is substantially altered in the annulus when the inner pipe is no longer concentric. Stagnant regions of flow were calculated in the low side of the hole. Viscosity profiles predicted for an eccentric annulus show how misleading the widely used single-value apparent viscosity term can be for non-Newtonian fluids. Profiles of velocity and viscosity in concentric and varying eccentric annuli are presented in 3-D and 2-D contour plots for a better visualization of annular flow. Frictional pressure loss gradient versus flow rate relationship data for power law fluids is generated using the computer program. Later, this data is fitted to obtain a simple equation utilizing regressional analysis, allowing for a quick calculation of friction pressure losses in eccentric annuli. For a given flow rate, frictional pressure loss is reduced as the inner pipe becomes eccentric. In most cases, about a 50-percent reduction in frictional pressure loss is predicted when the inner pipe lies on the low side.

In this paper, we investigate the time-dependent drainage of a thin film of Eyring fluid of variable thickness, flowing down a vertical plate. The exact solutions for the velocity distribution, flow rate, mean thickness, average velocity, vorticity vector, and stress are obtained. Graphical results are presented and discussed for various flow variables like the velocity profile and the variable thickness.

Работа посвящена расчетно-теоретическому исследованию работы блока инжекторов. Рассмотрен пароводяной струйный аппарат, который применяется в качестве средства циркуляции теплоносителя первого контура. Подвод дополнительного потока осуществляется на цилиндрическом участке с внезапным расширением сечения через перемычку. Для достижения поставленной цели разработана программа для ЭМВ, в которой смоделирована зависимость давления от нагрузки в контуре, а также проведено расчетно-теоретическое исследование влияние гидравлического сопротивления на расход перемычки. В данной работе рассмотрены только рабочие режимы, т.е. все инжекторы работают как насосы. В ходе работы было установлено, что при нагрузке в 30% увеличиваются коэффициенты инжекции пароводяного струйного аппарата, но характер работы перемычек не меняется. Так же было установлено, что расход через перемычку меняется не пропорционально коэффициенту гидравлического сопротивления перемычки. The paper is devoted to the computational and theoretical study of the injector block operation. A steam-water jet apparatus is considered, which is used as a means of circulating the primary circle coolant. The additional flow is supplied on the cylindrical section with a sudden expansion of the cross-section through the bridge. To achieve this goal, a computer program was developed that modeled the pressure dependence on the load in the circuit, and also a theoretical study of the influence of hydraulic resistance on the flow of the jumper was conducted. In this paper, only operating modes are considered, i.e. all the injectors function as pumps. In the process of the research, it was found that at a load of 30%, the injection coefficients of the steam-water jet apparatus increase, but the nature of the work of the jumpers does not change. It was also found out that the flow rate through the jumper does not change in proportion to the coefficient of hydraulic resistance of the jumper.

Background:The paper deals with a diesel common rail nozzle in which a novel orifice layout is implemented.Objective:Its influence on the nozzle mechanical-hydraulic behavior and on the spray shape transient development is experimentally investigated.Methods:In the research, a solenoid injector for light duty diesel engines is equipped with the novel nozzle prototype and tested. The prototype layout is described, pointing out the features of the nozzle orifices, in which a Slot cross-section is adopted; the investigation is accomplished extending the hydraulic tests and the spray visualizations to a reference nozzle with standard holes. The influence of the hole layout on the mechanical-hydraulic behavior of the nozzle is assessed by experimental analysis based on the rate of injection measurement, in comparison with the reference nozzle. Once the hydraulic behavior of the novel nozzle has been characterized in terms of mass flow rate, the slot influence on the spray shape is assessed analyzing the macroscopic features such as the penetration distance and the spray angle, in non evaporative conditions. The study is carried out under transient injection conditions, for different injection pressures, up to 1400 bar.Results:The results on spray characteristics also provide reference information to set up spray models suited to take the Slot orifice into account.

We develop a lubrication type model of a liquid flow in a wedge in the limit of small capillary numbers and negligible gravity. The model incorporates the effects of capillary pressure gradients and evaporation. Steady vapor-liquid interface shapes are found for a range of parameters. In the limit of weak evaporation the flow is the same in all cross-sections and can be controlled by changing the wedge angle. We find the wedge angle that results in the maximum value of the flow rate for a given contact angle. For high evaporation rates, both the flow rate and the amount of liquid in each cross-section along the wedge decrease until the point of dry-out is reached. The location of the dry-out point is studied as a function of evaporation. Practical suggestions about optimization of micro heat pipes are given.
