Local solids densities (concentrations) at a test cross section of a concentric annulus in the fully developed flow region were measured by using an isokinetic sampling technique during upward flow of water-feldspar slurries. As solids, 72 or 138 mu m feldspar particles at an average concentration of 1 or 2% v/v (volume of solids/volume of vessel) were used in the feed slurry. The amounts of solids in the collected slurry samples from different radial locations were determined by a gravimetric method (Ozbelge and Somer, 1988; Ozbelge and Camc iota, 2004; Camc iota, 2003). In turbulent flow regime, at relatively lower mixture velocities (slurry Reynolds number, Re m , being around 9000), radial solids concentration profiles showed a local minimum at a dimensionless radial distance (DRD) of 0.45, then increasing trends towards the inner and outer walls of the annulus were observed. As the slurry Reynolds number increased further to 19500, the solid particles gathered more at around DRD = 0.45 in the annular gap and were transported near the axis rather than near the walls. Accordingly, the two-phase pressure gradients in the test section decreased with the superficial water velocity in the 9000-19500 range of the slurry Reynolds number, most probably as a result of decreasing particle-wall interactions. In the laminar flow regime, local solids concentrations being extremely low due to the transportation difficulty of solids up to the test section at very low velocities, the two phases behaved like a single phase, and the pressure gradients increased with the Reynolds number from Re m = 2000 up to Re m = 9000. The two-phase pressure gradients increased with the increasing consistency of the feed slurry and particle size at each superficial water velocity.

EVALUATION OF SECOND VIRIAL COEFFICIENTS FROM SATURATION DATA Orbey, H.; Orbey, N. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-3) A data reduction technique is introduced for the evaluation of second virial coefficients of gases at subcritical temperatures. The method makes use of the vapor-liquid equilibrium data, i.e., temperature, saturation pressure, liquid and vapor molar volumes and can be used to obtain second virial coefficients of a wide variety of fluids including polar, associating and quantum gases. The calculated second virial coefficients are in good agreement with their counterparts from literature, which are obtained f...
Analysis of the electrofiltration mechanism based on multiphase filtration theory Genc, A; Tosun, I (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-01) A mathematical model based on multiphase filtration theory is developed to describe the electrofiltration process. The model takes both electrophoretic and electroosmotic effects into account. The electrophoretic migration velocity of solid particles is predicted from the model using the filtrate volume time data obtained from electrofiltration experiments.
Calculation of the thermodynamic functions using a mean field model for the fluid-solid transition in nitrogen AKAY, Özge; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Romanian Academy - Revue Roumaine De Chimie, 2020-05-01) Temperature and pressure dependence of the thermodynamic quantities are calculated using the Landau phenomenological model for the first order fluid-solid transition in nitrogen. This calculation is performed by fitting the phase line equation as derived from the mean field model to the observed T-P phase diagram of the fluid-solid transition in N2 from the literature. Our calculations show that the order parameter and the inverse susceptibility decrease whereas the entropy, heat capacity, thermal expansion...
DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE DIFFUSIVITY AND BEHAVIOR OF TOMATO CONCENTRATE DROPLETS DURING DRYING IN AIR KARATAS, S; ESIN, A (Informa UK Limited, 1994-01-01) The drying mechanism and diffusion coefficient of water in spherical droplets (1.73 - 2.08 mm diameter) of tomato concentrates were successfully interpreted and modelled by using Fick's law. Solids content of the initial concentrate (5-15% w/w), and drying temperature (60-degrees - 100-degrees-C) were varied but the drying air was kept at constant velocity and humidity.
Determination of flow units for carbonate reservoirs by petrophysical - based methods Yıldırım Akbaş, Ceylan; Bağcı, Suat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) Characterization of carbonate reservoirs by flow units is a practical way of reservoir zonation. This study represents a petrophysical-based method that uses well loggings and core plug data to delineate flow units within the most productive carbonate reservoir of Derdere Formation in Y field, Southeast Turkey. Derdere Formation is composed of limestones and dolomites. Logs from the 5 wells are the starting point for the reservoir characterization. The general geologic framework obtained from the logs point...
