In 2006, Exxon Mobil reversed the flow of its aging and idle Pegasus pipeline to benefit from the increasing production of Canada's bitumen oil and transport the thicker crude south from Illinois to ...

Pipe-flow turbulence is a problem in the transport of oil, water and other fluids, and once established, it is persistent and costly. Turbulent fluids consume greater pumping energy and can cause ...

Once pulverized coal flows have been measured, they can be balanced and optimized. Until then, tuning is simply guesswork. The right way to balance furnace fuel flows is to establish solid baseline ...

Built for the digital and analytical world, the PipeFractionalFlow software has its origins in a college doctoral programme. “It’s a science project that started in 2007,” says Anand Nagoo, chief ...

Modern civilization depends on the transport of liquid and gases in systems of pipes, just as humans depend on the transport of blood through arteries and veins 1. As fluids move through pipes, they ...

Addressing increased crude oil viscosity at low temperatures in a transportation setting requires examining a variety of potential solutions, as simply preheating the oil or insulating the line is ...
