Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

Textbook formulas for describing heat flow characteristics, crucial in many industries, are oversimplified, study shows. Whether it's water flowing across a condenser plate in an industrial plant, or ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Testing empirical correlations of the mixing zone between two hydrocarbons transported via pipeline against field experiments of the same can improve engineering calculations used in sizing storage ...

New work could help design electronic devices in which heat can be guided in certain directions, minimizing heat loss ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.
