Synergistic Effect of Natural and Synthetic Polymers as Drag Reducing Agents in Single Phase Water Flow

Gimba Mohammad M.^*, EDOMWONYI-OTU L C, Abubakar Abdulraheem, Nurudeen Yusuf.

One of the most power consuming applications in the process and petroleum industry is the turbulent means of transporting fluid over long distances through pipelines. High pumping energy is required to overcome the occurring frictional pressure drop. An economical approach has been reported where addition of small amount in parts per million (pp...

Oil-water flows characteristics in pipes of different diameter

EDOMWONYI-OTU L C^*, HERNANDEZ-BARRAL A, ANGELI P

The flow patterns during oil-water flows were investigated in two acrylic pipes that had different diameters, 38 mm ID and 14 mm ID respectively. Water (ρ = 1000 kgm-3, μ = 0.001 kgm-1s-1) and Exxsol D140 oil (ρ = 830 kgm-3, μ = 0.0055 kgm-1s-1) were used as test fluids, while the patterns were recorded with a high speed camera. Dispersed and ri...
