    Abstract: The performance of lighted FL tubes is severely influenced by the depth of the gap between phosphor screen on inner glass wall and positive column which is defined by Fvect ≥ Fphos. Fphos is vertical electric field of the surface bound electrons (SBE) on electric insulator in vacuum. The SBE on phosphor particles in the screen of the commercial ... Show More

    Abstract: Sand deposition in horizontal pipes transporting crude oil and sand affects oil recovery and causes loss of pipe integrity. One way of avoiding sand deposition in lines is by identifying potential sand deposit points for mounting boosters to help boost the inertia force of the flowing stream. This paper investigates a model approach to the problem.... Show More
