The use of 90° bend is common in pipeline networks to connect the horizontal and vertical pipes in different orientations. The gas–oil–water flow pattern experiences a significant change while flowing through the bend. The centrifugal and gravitational forces influence the upstream flow pattern and transform it into a different type in the downstream pipe. An experimental study is conducted to identify flow pattern transformation in horizontal to vertical upward bend having an (R/d) ratio of 1. Each phase velocity affects the flow patterns; hence, the superficial velocities have been varied in the range of 0.5–5, 0.08–0.36, and 0.08–0.36 m/s for gas, oil, and water, respectively. The three-phase flow patterns in the bend’s horizontal and vertical legs have been identified and discussed in detail. Flow regime transition maps are plotted, and the variation in flow patterns with the change in superficial velocities of fluids has been analyzed. The pressure drop has been analyzed, and the prediction model for total pressure drop across the bend has been developed. The comparison of the experimental and predicted results showed close agreement.

“…The extraction of these substances generates the formation of flows with more than one phase consecutively which are monitored with intrusive devices or techniques [9][10][11][12] that quantify parameters of each of the fluids present [13] such as viscosities, densities, surface velocities [14,15], Reynolds number, holdups [16] and in certain cases, they are associated with geometric variables of the pipes, such as their diameter, length, and inclination [17,18]. The identification of flow patterns in pipelines is a fundamental factor [19], being of vital importance to obtain with precision a tool capable of modelling such behaviors of multiphase flows working together with existing artificial intelligence techniques [20,21] such as artificial neural networks [22], in order to train, validate and test an intelligent model [23] capable of generating flow maps [24] for vertical [25], horizontal [26] pipes in which all the performances generated from the modification of the physical…”

Given the importance of process control in the petrochemical industry, there is a need to determine the behavior of the fluids inside the pipes. In this work a methodology is developed for the identification of flow patterns in vertical pipes with diameters between 0.01 m and 0.10 m, from the implementation of artificial intelligence techniques, for a liquid combination of two phases composed of oil with viscosity in the range of 792 Kg/m3 to 1823 Kg/m3 and water at room temperature. The predictive models generated in the structuring of the methodology were trained with 70% of data based on viscosity parameters, pipe diameter, volume fraction and surface velocities of the working fluids stored in a database. The remaining information, equivalent to 30% of the total, was used to develop the automatic model validation. The flow patterns identified by the intelligent system for oil and water flow, without considering the predominant substance, are churning, dispersed, very fine dispersion, transition flow, intermittent, and annular

“…La industria petrolera ha centrado su interés en el desarrollo de tecnologías enfocadas en sistemas actualizados para la medición precisa de flujo multifásico [1]; este se define como un flujo continuo de sustancias en determinados estados termodinámicos (sólido, líquido, gas), los cuales generan una capa de separación con mezcla entre las fases [2] o patrones característicos [3], [4], [5], [6] derivados de los parámetros fluidodinámicos iniciales del flujo en la vertical [7], [8] y en la horizontal [9], [10]. Los parámetros hidrodinámicos son identificados mediante la aplicación de distintas metodologías, tales como la impedancia eléctrica [11], variación de presión [12], ecos ultrasónicos [13] y análisis de imágenes ópticas [14].…”

Este artículo presenta la aplicación de una red neuronal artificial (RNA) para el desarrollo de un modelo capaz de predecir la fracción volumétrica de un flujo bifásico compuesto por agua y aceite mineral en una tubería horizontal. Se utilizan las velocidades superficiales de cada fluido y el diferencial de presión en la tubería como parámetros de entrada de la red neuronal artificial multicapa con retropropagación, mientras que la fracción volumétrica de los fluidos se utiliza como parámetro de salida en el entrenamiento de la misma. Los 56 datos experimentales con los que se trabajó se obtuvieron en el laboratorio LabPetro - CEPETRO-UNICAMP. Los resultados que arrojó el modelo predictivo con mejor rendimiento presentan un error absoluto medio porcentual (AAPE) de 3,01 % y un coeficiente de determinación de 0,9964 utilizando 15 neuronas en la capa oculta de la red y la función de transferencia TanSig.
