Both in the bubbly flow and annular flow regions, the effect of pitch length on swirl flow generation and pressure loss was more significant than that of the inserted wire diameters.
The model was then used to investigate the effect of shell diameter and tube length on the flow field for closed shell, closed end, and cross flow operation.
The length of overland flow (Lg) is the length of flow path, projected to the horizontal, non-channel flow from a point on the stream divide to a point on the neighboring stream channel (Horton 1945).
Horton (1945) defined length of overland flow (Lg) as the length of flow path, projected to the horizontal of non-channel flow from a point on the drainage divide to a point on the adjacent stream channel.
The effects of orientation of the crack and crack length on the energy flow pattern are also investigated.
Models of six different cyclone separator designs have been investigated numerically to study the effect of changing cone length on the gas flow field.
More specifically, two new parameters are first defined to respectively include effect of minimum permeability plateau and characteristic length on non-Darcy flow behaviour across the completion with consideration of wellbore storage and skin effects.
Based on Full 2nd-Order Polynomial response surface (RS) and analysis of variance (ANOVA), the effects and second order interaction effects of the fin height, fin space, fin thickness and fin interrupted length on heat transfer, flow resistance and stress are quantitatively and thoroughly assessed.
The effects of emerging physical parameters namely Grashof numbers, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocity, Debye length and thermal radiation on flow characteristics, heat transfer characteristics, and pumping characteristics are computed.
This study examines the effect of increased channel length on the distribution of flow gases and cell performance in an interdigitated flow-field PEMFC.
