Answer found. For steady flow in a homogeneous isotropic porous body (i.e., permeability is constant) that satisfies Darcy's equation, the flow satisfies the equations for potential flow with appropriate boundary conditions (see, for example, Kovks (1981))). The potential flow solution will...
Good day.
I have seven heaters each one with a different power output (~15 kW +/-25%). The heaters are to be connected to inlet (dividing) and outlet (combining) manifolds. The inlet and outlet piping at each heater is about one inch in diameter. The system will be at high pressure (~8 MPa) so...
Good day.
I'm trying to understand the flow through a vertical porous cylinder with open sides. Please see attached sketch. I'm assuming flow enters the top of the cylinder at some specified flow rate and pressure. The flow may exit through the bottom of the cylinder and *through the sides*...
Good day.
I'm seek assistance on prior experimental or analytical studies of (what I call) fluid flow through an unconfined vertical porous column. I've attached to this post a sketch of the configuration I'm looking at.
I'm aware of prior work on on flow through vertical porous columns...
Flow through a pipe in free stream is important in design of wind-driven eductor-type ventilators.
See, for example, http://services.eng.uts.edu.au/~phuoc/docs/writings/AFMC00120.pdf.
ASME Section III, Div 1, Subsect NE, requires an "examination for leakage" (NE-6324, -6224) during the pneumatic or hydrostatic pressure test of a Class MC vessel. Does anyone have experience complying with this requirement by *other than* (or in addition to) bubble testing? Thanks.
I have a sense of how to do this calculation, but I'm looking for a book or journal article that addresses it. I want to be sure I understand the fundamentals.
Consider a straight pipe held up to the wind. What is the air velocity through the pipe? It obviously depends on the angle between...
