By Cyndi Dale Consciouslifestylemagazine There are many human energy fields. These include the physically measurable electromagnetic and magnetic fields generated by all living cells, tissues, and organs, and the body as a whole. But there are also biofields—subtle or putative fields emanating from these pulsing units of life— …
As the gas–liquid flow evolves, the bias flow at the bend sides becomes more. and the min and max velocities are 9c, the and the min and max flow velocities velocity at are the 0.27 first m/s branch and velocity. 0.27 m/s and 2.7 m/s (Figure 9b). severe, In Figure has 2.7 a m/s significant (Figure disturbance, 9b).
The drive to increase the efficiency of processes based on two-phase flow demands the better precision and selection of boundary conditions in the process'' control. The two-phase flow pattern affects the …
The hydrodynamic characteristic of the multiphase mixed-transport pipeline is essential to guarantee safe and sustainable oil–gas transport when extracting offshore oil and gas resources. The gas–liquid two-phase transport phenomena lead to unstable flow, which significantly impacts pipeline deformation and can cause damage to the pipeline …

Its flow pattern can be divided into bubbly flow, intermittent flow including slug flow and plug flow, stratified flow, annular flow (Taitel and Duckler, 1976). For gas-liquid two-phase flow in vertical pipe, the distribution of two-phase flow is generally symmetrical, including bubbly flow, cap-bubbly flow, slug flow, churn-turbulent flow, annular flow ( Mandhane …
Flow-field plate designs, (a) single-serpentine flow-field (SSFF), (b) parallel flow-field (PFF). A ''diagonal flow mode'' was adopted in both of the flow-field designs such that the water was fed to the flow-field from the lower left corner (as shown in Fig. 2 ) while excess water and the gas produced was ejected at the upper right corner.
The performance of a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cell directly depends on the arrangement of flow field in bipolar plates (BPs). The design of flow field in BPs should be in a way that a uniform distribution of flow is achieved; in this regard, a three-dimensional model of a new flow field arrangement with a cross section of 64 cm2 is …
