Development of a Mechanistic and Data-Driven Model for Multiphase Flow Leak Detection in Pipeline by Barooah, Abinash

“…The effect of different pressure constraints, pipe length, pipe diameter, two-phase fluid rheology, leak diameter, leak location, outlet liquid volume fraction, and flowing liquid hold-up on leak size, pressure, and flow rate is analyzed. Decreasing the liquid fraction in the outlet section of the leak leads to a slight increase (6% average) in the inlet mass flow rate and a significant decrease (50% average) in the outlet mass flow rate for fixed pressure constraints, resulting in an increased leak flow rate, pressure, and density. …”

Impact of moisture contents on the performance of organic bi-layer ITO/OD thermo-electric cells by Ahmad, Zubair

“…The experimental results clearly show that with the increase of temperature Seebeck coefficient increases, whereas with increasing moisture contents the Seebeck coefficient of the ITO/OD thermo-electric cell significantly decreases. Our results point out the need for well-controlled environmental conditions, predominantly moisture level, in order to appraise the thermo-electric performance of organic semiconductor materials. 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.…”
