Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. It's widely known that thick, viscous liquids -- like honey -- flow more slowly than low ...

A new empirical correlation can help engineers size chokes for controlling gas-condensate production and predicting the performance of flowing wells under different conditions. The correlation was ...
