Abstract

Piping systems with many supporting components are used to drain water. Connections or elbows result in head loss, namely the loss of flow in the system. Headloss is the loss of flow energy which is significantly affected by flow velocity. This study aims to analyze head loss due to variations in elbow diameter. The elbows used have diameters of 1, 2, 4, and 6 inch. Based on the simulation results and the results of nomograph calculations using the ASME B16.9 B16.28 standard, it can be seen that head loss decreases with increasing elbow diameter. The simulation results show similar results to the calculations from the nomograph.

Abstract

Rivers in Indonesia are heavily polluted, with the main source of pollution coming from industrial waste, including poorly managed mining activities. The airlift pump is used to lift liquid or sediment from a water reservoir that has a lower elevation through a vertical pipe that is partially submerged in the water. This research aims to determine the effect of air flow rate on the performance of the airlift pump during operation under three-phase flow conditions. The performance of the airlift pump is examined through several parameters: superficial velocity, effectiveness, efficiency, and flow patterns. In this study, a tank measuring 50x50x50 cm and a 2.54 m tall acrylic pipe are used as the riser to facilitate the lifting of three-phase flow to the separator component that separates the three phases located at the end of the riser. With a submergence ratio of ¾ h or 1.905 m and using variations of air flow rates of 30, 40, 50, and 60 LPM. The results of this research confirm that increasing air flow rate enhances superficial velocity in all three phases. At air flow rates of 30-50 LPM, the efficiency increases from 4.18 ×10-3 % and peaks at 5.14 ×10-3 %. At 60 LPM, it decreases to 4.88 ×10-3 %. The highest effectiveness reaches 1.281 at an air flow rate of 60 LPM. The optimal flow pattern occurs in slug flow and transitions towards churn flow.

Abstract

This study experimentally investigates the effects of water column height and air flow rate on the performance of a two-phase airlift pump with a 15° injector angle. Two water column heights  and  and four air flow rates (30, 40, 50, and 60 LPM) were tested in a laboratory-scale setup. Efficiency was calculated using the Nicklin model, while effectiveness was determined based on the ratio of water to air mass flow rates. Flow patterns were recorded and analyzed using a high-speed camera. The results showed that increasing the water column height significantly improved both efficiency and effectiveness, with the highest values—12.270% and 2354.78, respectively achieved at  and 60 LPM. Flow pattern observations revealed that slug flow dominated at partial submergence, whereas churn flow became prevalent at full submergence with higher air flow rates. The findings demonstrate that optimizing submergence ratio, air flow rate, and injector configuration is essential for achieving high-performance and energy-efficient airlift pump operation.
