The coupling between fluid and granular materials is commonly encountered in nature and
engineering practice. Moreover, the shape of granular materials in practical applications is …

This paper presents an overview about particulate wear that occurs in various components
of slurry pumps, pipeline systems, and hydraulic turbines due to the mechanical action …

A positive displacement pump delivers at a fixed speed a nearly constant flow rate
independently of the back pressure. In contrast, the flow rate of a centrifugal pump depends …

Centrifugal slurry pumps are widely used in the mining and dredging industries. However,
the flow passage components in the pump can become severely worn due to their low …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) plays a vital role in tailings management where the CPB
slurry is hydraulically conveyed from the surface to underground voids in pipelines. To …

Slurry pumps have played a significant role in the technical framework of deep-sea mining
system. In recent years, different forms of slurry pumps have been developed for slurry …

Centrifugal pumps are being extensively used for hydraulic transportation of solids over
short and medium distances through pipelines where the requirements of head and …

Erosion, abrasion, and corrosion are the common problems in various industries, namely
hydropower plants, thermal power plants, offshore, chemical, food processing, oil industries …

In this paper, a novel support vector machine (SVM) learning approach has been used to
predict the silt erosion of coatings sprayed by the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process. The …

The heat transfer fluid's thermal properties are a significant topic of current research. In this
study, coal fly ash nanoparticles of 14 nm average diameter were dispersed in water to …
