Hi everyone,
I am trying to model the start-up and steady state heat transfer for a steam jacketed pump which is used to pump bitumen.
The bitumen is solid in the pump and the steam enters the jackets and heats up the bitumen via conduction. This makes it more complicated because the...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help with a project which involves using steam to raise the temperature of bitumen in a pump.
I'm struggling to find any information on the heat capacity of bitumen and some other heat transfer info.
Can anyone tell me the following:
Melt point?
Heat...
Hi everyone,
I am involved in a project which involves heating tar to a temperature which allows it to be pumped. I was looking for some help with the rheology of tar, for example solid temperature, melt temperature, viscosity, shear, flow and phase characteristics.
If anyone had any...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to determine the time it takes for the viscosity of the pumpage to reduce to a suitable level to allow the pump to operate freely. The pump in question is a CP13 PP26 (API674 Direct Acting Recip.) The pump end has been fitted with steam jackets. I have limited...
