Hydro cyclone are widely used in oil and gas industry particularly in this study similar to de-oiling process or improve purification of discharged water. As offshore oil production started to decline over time with high water cut in the production stream, this usually cause unprofitable production for huge expenditures in water handling. The perio...

Context 1
... hydrocyclone exhibited in Figure-2 which was experimentally studied in 1980 has been a significant reference for liquid-liquid hydrocyclone model [4]. This design has an inlet chamber and a reducing section to accomplish enhanced tangential acceleration of the fluid, lessening the pressure plunge and the shear stress to a tolerable level. ...
Context 2
... of this standard hydrocyclone with dual tangential inlet from Colman and Thew et al., 1980; as exhibited in Figure-2 is utilized as this has been the widely reported design as per numerous researchers such as Young et al., 1990;and Gomez et al., 1990. With the model efficiency is highly dependent on the turbulent flow velocities, inlet configuration is compared to evaluate tangential velocity impact. ...

Small-scale hybrid energy systems are often composed by different power production technologies and adopted in mini-grids. In this work, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming optimization algorithm has been developed to compute the optimal scheduling of a micro-grid constituted by Internal Combustion Generators (ICGs) and a Storage System that can be...
