Eco-friendly Drilling Fluid Water Loss Controlling Agents
Abstract: AbstractThe water loss from the drilling fluid with the addition natural additives like bagasse, natural sugar, and natural rubber was studied. The entire study is focused on improving the quality of controlling fluid loss with effect of natural additives. The concentrations of the additives were changed to achieve the desired reasonable value of fluid loss with the help of high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) filter press which worked at …

Study of Wear Behaviour of GFRP Composites filled with Nanofiller using Taguchi Technique
Abstract: AbstractThe GFRP laminates are fabricated by hand lay-up process followed by vacuum bag curing and post cured in a heating oven. The laminates are fabricated with addition of 1%, 1.5% and 2.0% graphene filler and prepared laminates are cut into ASTM standards by using water jet cutting. The density and volume fraction of the void fabricated composite is determined. The three-body abrasive wear test is carried out on abrasion tester …

Turbulence Modelling for Estimation of Hydraulic Jump Height
Abstract: AbstractThe simulation plays an important role in understanding the behavior of the flow field that becomes difficult through experimental analysis. The present work focuses on the experimental studies carried out for different discharges ranging from 9.8 lps to 12.5 lps. The gate openings adopted for the study are 0.025 m at a slope of 1:1200 and 0.023 m at a slope of 1:857 and 1:705.8. The simulations were extended to …
