Experimental Facilities
Continuous inclined air-water pipe flow facilityThe experimental facility consists of
two 10 m long parallel pipes with internal diameters of 24 mm and 56
mm.The pipes are can be fixed at any angle of inclination, from
horizontal position to vertical. Water and air are used as working
fluids. 
Controlled air injection vertical pipe flow facilityExperimental facility consists of air
and water supply systems and a test section. The inlet section of each
pipe, shown in the insert of Fig. 1, consists of a large settling
chamber, a honeycomb, a number of screens, and a converging nozzle.
Individual air bubbles are injected via computer-controlled
solenoid-activated ball valve from a common manifold through separate
pipes with internal diameters identical to those of each test section. 
Evaporation and Two-phase flow in parallel pipes facilityThe facility consists of two heated
parallel pipes with a common inlet manifold. Both pipes are open to the
atmosphere at the exit. Steam separators are located at each pipe exit.
The whole pipes battery can rotate upwards up to 30°.More... Adiabatic air-water two-phase flow in parallel pipes facilityThe adiabatic two-phase flow facility
consists of four parallel pipes with common inlet and outlet manifolds
and a flow mixer at the inlet, all supported by a frame. The frame can
be tilted upwards within the range of angles from 0 to 30?. More... 
Air granular flow facilityAn experimental device was designed and
built to investigate gas-solid flow in pipes. The system consists of
five distinct parts:
Air supply system, Feeding section, Conveying Section, Test section and
measurement devicesand Gas-Solid separation section |
