A simple model for plug flow processes with heat transfer and phase change
This article develops a simple and useful mathematical model for plug flow with phase change and heat transfer.
Twenty years ago today…
I was digging through an old hard drive and found something that made me smile. It was a GIF animation that I created 20 years ago (give or take a few weeks). No, not something with the qualities to go viral. This was the continuation of simulation work that I did for my PhD thesis.…
Plunger pumps for pipelines: predicting pulsations
Pipeline supply pumps must meet an interesting set of operating conditions. The flow rate is generally low and the required discharge pressure is high. This requires either a small multistage centrifugal pump or a positive displacement pump, such as a plunger pump. A plunger pump with a VFD is quite suitable for delivering fluid to a pipeline. However,…
