Suppressing Intermittent Flow Patterns And Reducing Pressure Loss In Two-Phase Horizontal Pipe Flow Using Surfactants, Stephen R. Glassmeyer Jan 2003

Suppressing Intermittent Flow Patterns And Reducing Pressure Loss In Two-Phase Horizontal Pipe Flow Using Surfactants, Stephen R. Glassmeyer

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The addition of small concentrations of surfactant to an air/water two-phase flow through a 2 inch Schedule 40 (0.052 m-id) smooth PVC pipe resulted in significant changes to the flow pattern map and pressure loss of the system. Sodium dodecylsulfate was added to an air/water two-phase flow at several concentrations at or below the critical micelle concentration. As the surfactant concentration increased, the amount of foam generated in the flow increased, and several flow patterns not previously reported were observed. There was a reduction in the conditions under which intermittent flow patterns developed. It is proposed that the ability of …

Nanocharacterization Of Bio-Silica Using Atomic Force And Ultrasonic Force Microscopy, Vinaypreet Singh Gill Jan 2003

Nanocharacterization Of Bio-Silica Using Atomic Force And Ultrasonic Force Microscopy, Vinaypreet Singh Gill

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Today, nanotechnology has become central to our research efforts in order to come up with smaller and smaller devices, which are more versatile than their older and bigger predecessors. MEMS devices, biosensors, nanocomposites are some of the examples of these devices. To realize the goal of fabricating these devices newer materials and novel techniques to manufacture these materials at spatial scales, heretofore unseen, are required. Also, we need to know the mechanical properties of these materials at nanoscales and we have to strive for environmentally benign ways of achieving these production goals. Silica is a very important material in this …
