The flow patterns that appear are classified in flow pattern maps as functions of either mixture velocity and water cut or superficial velocities. The superficial water velocity ranged from 1.69 m/s to 3.38 m/s with superficial oil velocity around 0.39 m/s to 1.58 m/s. The effects of superficial water velocity, superficial oil velocity on annular flow lengths were taken into account. However, the essentials of the problem involve the determination of the pressure gradient. In this experimental work a video camera "high speed camera" system with image processing technique by MATLAB were used to extract the hold up for the fluid that being the annular flow. The theoretical study was executed using fluent program, a modified turbulent diffusion model is adopted. Simulation results show more physical predictions with respect to the particle deposition process and concentration profile. New data for hold up lengths were found which achieved good agreements with the previous works. ﺍﻻﻓﻘﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﺤﻠﻘﻴﺔ ﺍﻻﻧﺎﺑﻴﺐ ﺧﻼﻝ ()ﺯﻳﺖ-ﻣﺎء ﺍﻟﻄﻮﺭ ﺛﻨﺎﺋﻲ ﺍﻟﺠﺮﻳﺎﻥ ﻋﺒد ﻋﺎﻤر اء زﻫر ﻋﺒد ﻤﺤﻤد ﻋﺼﺎم اﻟﺨﻼﺼﺔ : ﺴﺎﺌﻝ-ﺴﺎﺌﻝ ﻟﻤﺎﺌﻌﻴن ﺤﻠﻘﻲ ﻴﺎن ﻟﺠر اﻟطور ﺜﻨﺎﺌﻲ ﻴﺎن ﺠر اﺴﺔ در ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﻀوء ﺘﺴﻠﻴط ﻫو اﻟﺤﺎﻟﻲ اﻟﻌﻤﻝ ﻤن اﻟﻬدف داﺨﻠﻲ ﺒﻘطر ﺸﻔﺎف أﻓﻘﻲ اﻨﺒوب ﻓﻲ 32 وطوﻝ ﻤﻠم 6 م , اﻟﻤﺨﺘﺒر ﻓﻲ اﻟطﺒﻴﻌﻴﻪ اﻟﺒﻴﺌﻴﻪ اﻟظروف ﺘﺤت اﻟﺘﺠﺎرب ﻴت أﺠر ﻟﻘد ﺴﺎﺌﻠﻴن ﻴن ﻛطور اﻟﻤﺎﺌﻌﻴن ﻛﻼ ﺒﺎﺴﺘﺨدام. ﻛﻤﻌﺎدﻟﻪ وﺘﻛون ﻴﺎن اﻟﺠر اع أﻨو ﺘوﻀﻴﺢ ﻴطﺔ ﻛﺨر ﻤﺼﻨﻔﻪ ﺘظﻬر ﻴﺎن اﻟﺠر ﻨﻤﺎذج اﻟﺨﻠﻴط ﻟﺴرﻋﺔ. ﻤن اوح ﻴﺘر اﻟﻤﺎء ﺴرﻋﺔ ﻤﻌدﻝ 1.69 اﻟﻰ م/ﺜﺎﻨﻴﻪ 3.38 ﻤن اوح ﻴﺘر اﻟﻨﻔط ﺴرﻋﺔ وﻤﻌدﻝ م/ﺜﺎﻨﻴﻪ 0.39 اﻟﻰ م/ﺜﺎﻨﻴﻪ 1.58 م/ﺜﺎﻨﻴﻪ. اﻟدﻗﻪ ﻋﺎﻟﻴﻪ ﻴﺔ ﺘﺼوﻴر اﺼﻔﺎت ﻤو وذات اﻟﺴرﻋﺔ ﻋﺎﻟﻴﻪ ا ﻛﺎﻤﻴر ﺒﺎﺴﺘﺨدام ﺘﺼوﻴري ﻨظﺎم اﺴﺘﺨدام ﺘم اﺴطﺔ ﺒو اﻟﺼور ﻤﻌﺎﻟﺠﺔ ﺘﻘﻨﻴﺔ ﻤﻊ MATLAP ﺘﻨﻔﻴذ ﺘم .أﻟﺤﻠﻘﻲ ﺘدﻓق اﻟﺴﺎﺌﻝ-اﻟﺴﺎﺌﻝ ﺜﺎﻗﺒﺔ ة ﻨظر ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺤﺼوﻝ ﻫو اﻟﻬدف و ﻓﻠوﻨت ﻨﺎﻤﺞ ﺒر ﺒﺎﺴﺘﺨدام ﻴﺔ اﻟﻨظر اﺴﺔ اﻟدر CFD ﺘظﻬر اﻟﻤﺤﺎﻛﺎة ﻨﺘﺎﺌﺞ .اﻟﻤﺤﺴن اﻟﻤﻀطرب اﻻﻨﺘﺸﺎر ﻨﻤوذج اﻋﺘﻤﺎد و ، أوﺠدﻩ ﻤﺎ ﻤﻊ اﻓق ﺘﺘو ﺠدﻴدة ﺒﻴﺎﻨﺎت ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﻌﺜور ﺘم .اﻟﺘرﻛﻴز و اﻟﺠﺴﻴﻤﺎت ﺘرﺴب ﻋﻤﻠﻴﺔ ﻴﺨص ﻓﻴﻤﺎ أﻛﺜر اﻟﻔﻌﻠﻴﺔ اﻟﺘوﻗﻌﺎت .ﺴﺎﺒﻘﺎ اﻟﺒﺎﺤﺜون

The experimental work include an experimental operating room in laboratory of Babylon University. Two cases were taken in analysis of air distribution. Both cases have a ceiling air supply system and the different between then was in design of air supply system. Both cases consist of patient bed, surgical staff around, overhead light, surgical light and electrical devices. Air is exhausted through four exhaust grills located in four corners at latitude about 0.25 m from ground. In numerical work a three-dimensional model of the experimental operating room was developed in Gambit and analyzed in FLUEN6.3.26.The results showed that ceiling system is a good ventilation system for air distribution in operating room. Curtain air system gave more protection from laminar flow system where isolate the patient bed from the rest of the room and air velocity above the patient be low. FLUENT program give a good and close results to reality .Good agreement between numerical and experimental results was obtained inside experimental operating room.

This model allows accounting for both high order temperature gradients and state of non-equilibrium, this prompts further realistic determination the distribution of temperature within the work-piece. The model has been employed to simulate the evolution of spatial temperature distribution within the target materials when irradiated with both CW and pulsed laser. This model explains the welding process in terms of the velocity of fusion surface (V *) which has been calculated as a function of power intensity. The zone of fusion dimensions, and the heat affected zone are illustrated of target metal with phase transformation under the incident power intensity in a range of 10 5 W/cm 2. A new scheme of welding mechanism has been implemented. This scheme is based on switching from the transient model of welding to continuous welding (steady state), using a lagging method in explicit technique. This method gives more stable solution through a computer program, which calculates the temperature distribution from a moving work-piece.

Eulerian multiphase flow Homogeneous equilibrium model along with thermal phase change based on mass transfer mechanism was used for simulation of refrigerant flow through adiabatic straight capillary tube. The effect of various design parameter such condensation pressure, capillary tube length and capillary tube diameter on the flashing inception point has been discussed numerically. The numerical model based on finite volume method using turbulence model gives the behavior of refrigerant properties such as field of pressure, temperature, dryness fraction, void fraction and velocity along the distance of capillary tube which helps in the understanding of beginning of vaporization phenomenon. The present numerical model has been validated with the others models and a good agreement are obtained which can be lead to depend up on ANSYS CFX 16.1 in design and optimization of capillary tube of refrigeration industry.

in the region of high share. Therefore, it may be possible to introduce a beneficial effect in any flow of a very viscous liquid by
introducing amount of a fluid lubricated as liquid-liquid oil-water flow. Two main classes of flows are seen, annular and small
bubble in all experimental results. The pressure drop and mean heat-transfer coefficients were observed to depend strongly on
the flow patterns. A correlation of the two-phase mean heat-transfer coefficients, based on a simple model of liquid flow, with a
Reynolds number based on the actual mean velocity of the liquid mixture two-phase flow, were developed. An experimental
rig facility has been designed and constructed, to enable measurements of local parameters in oil-water flow in the developing
region of the flow in a 32 mm ID 6 m long pipe. The large discrepancies between model predictions and experimental data are
reported in the literature review that the physics of oil-water flow is complex and not yet fully understood. The flow patterns
that appear are classified in flow pattern maps as functions of either mixture velocity and water cut or superficial velocities.
From these experiments a smaller number of annular flows are selected for studies of velocity and turbulence. The theoretical
study was executed using software Fluent program, a modified turbulent diffusion model is presented. Simulation results
carried out with the model show more physical predictions with respect to the particle deposition process and concentration
profile. The theoretical results represent the pressure gradient distribution, velocity and mean heat transfer coefficient, pressure
contours, velocity vectors, streamlines, and also velocity profiles. It was found that the methods with more restrictions (in
terms of the applicable range of void fraction, liquid superficial Reynolds number) give better predictions.

A total of 80 runs are conducted for oil flow rate of (7-19) l/min, with water flow rate (2-14) l/min and air flow rate (3-10) l/min. The three phases flow in horizontal Perspex pipe of 25.4 mm, and overall length of 6 m. Gasoil, water and air are used as working fluids. A video camera recording and five pressure transducer sensor with interface are used to study flow regimes and pressure drop through the test section in a pipe. The flow regime and pressure fluctuating across pipe depending on superficial oil, water and gas velocities. Three flow regimes namely stratified, plug and slug flow were observed for the oil-water-gas. Three flow regimes namely stratified, plug and slug flow were observed for the oil-water-gas. The three-phase pressure gradient increases with increasing the water superficial velocity for constant oil and gas flow rates. Also increases with increasing oil superficial velocity for fixed water and gas flow rates. Pressure gradient increases with increasing water cut at constant oil superficial velocity. Also decreases with increasing gas superficial velocity. The Flow regime maps for various oil/water ratios are compared with the previous reported studies. It shows that the experimental data are in a good agreement with the previous reported studies.

This study considered the effect of mesh resolution and the secondary phase volume fraction on the phase inversion point and the resulted two phase distribution. In the present work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology is developed to simulate the core-annular flow for both types of meshes. The simulations were carried out using the software package Fluent 6.3.26, which is designed for numerical simulation of fluid flow. The model consisted of a cylindrical horizontal pipe; the mesh has been accomplished by using the industrial level mesh generation tool Gambit 2.3.16. The results showed that the mesh structure is the key role in the phase distribution and found that the volume fraction determined the inversion point. The results were validated with the research experimental data for the spatial distribution of oil-water core-annular flow.

Experimental studies have been conducted in a channel with air-water flow for different angles of hydrofoil with different air and water discharges. The paper describes experiments carried out in the channel with the rectangular test section of 100 x 30 x 800 mm. The maximum inlet velocity at the test section for air is 1.115 m/s and for water is 0.022 m/s. These experiments have been aimed to visualize the two phase flow phenomena as well as to studies effect of pressure difference through channel with hydrofoil.
All sets of flow data in this study were obtained using pressure transducer and visualization by video camera and recorded at multiple angles of attack (0o,15o and 25o) and different Water discharge (l/min) (20, 25, 35 and 45) and different air discharge (l/min) (10, 20, 30 and 40). When (α=0°) the flow is parallel to the hydrofoil surface and there is no vortex shedding behind the hydrofoil. When (α=15°) the flow separates from the upper-surface and the separation point moves towards the leading edge of the hydrofoil as the air water discharges increases. When the angle of hydrofoil (α=25°), the flow separates near the leading edge of the upper surface and large eddies are shed from both the upper and lower surfaces. For constant water discharge, the pressure difference increased with increased air discharge with the same angle of hydrofoil

In the present work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology is developed to simulate the core-annular flow for both types of meshes. The simulations were carried out using the software package Fluent 6.3.26, which is designed for numerical simulation of fluid flow. The model consisted of a cylindrical horizontal pipe; the mesh has been accomplished by using the industrial level mesh generation tool Gambit 2.3.16. The results showed that the mesh structure is the key role in the phase distribution and found that the volume fraction determined the inversion point. The results were validated with the research experimental data for the spatial distribution of oil-water core-annular flow.

Experimental studies have been conducted in a channel with air-water flow for different angles of hydrofoil with different air and water discharges. The paper describes experiments carried out in the channel with the rectangular test section of 100 x 30 x 800 mm. The maximum inlet velocity at the test section for air is 1.115 m/s and for water is 0.022 m/s. These experiments have been aimed to visualize the two phase flow phenomena as well as to studies effect of pressure difference through channel with hydrofoil.
All sets of flow data in this study were obtained using pressure transducer and visualization by video camera and recorded at multiple angles of attack (0o,15o and 25o) and different Water discharge (l/min) (20, 25, 35 and 45) and different air discharge (l/min) (10, 20, 30 and 40). When (α=0°) the flow is parallel to the hydrofoil surface and there is no vortex shedding behind the hydrofoil. When (α=15°) the flow separates from the upper-surface and the separation point moves towards the leading edge of the hydrofoil as the air water discharges increases. When the angle of hydrofoil (α=25°), the flow separates near the leading edge of the upper surface and large eddies are shed from both the upper and lower surfaces. For constant water discharge, the pressure difference increased with increased air discharge with the same angle of hydrofoil
