*(watch derivation in 2x for a better experience)* • Laminar flow through an annulus occurs when a fluid flows through a circular pipe with an annular space between the pipe and an inner cylinder. This phenomenon is widely studied and observed in various engineering applications, including heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and other industrial processes. For instance, in oil well drilling, a heavy drilling mud is circulated through the annular space around the drill pipe to transport the drilling debris to the surface. Such drilling muds are typically composed of a mixture of water or oil, clay, and other minerals, and various chemical additives. The composition can vary depending on the specific drilling conditions, including the type of formation being drilled, the depth of the well, and environmental considerations. • Laminar flow through an annulus refers to the smooth and orderly movement of fluid through an annulus. This occurs in situations where the fluid’s viscosity dominates over its inertia. • In general, an annulus is the region between two concentric circles. In the context of fluid dynamics, this is typically the space between two concentric cylindrical pipes, as shown in the diagram below. • Laminar flow through annulus is a common setup in various industrial applications, where fluids flow between the inner and outer pipe walls. Compared to a normal pipe flow where the fluid only interacts with the pipe’s inner wall, flow through an annulus can be more complex to analyze because the behavior of the fluid is affected by the properties of both the inner and outer cylinders. • #chemicalengineering #engineering #chemistry #mechanicalengineering #science #chemical #petroleumengineering #petroleum #energy #civilengineering #crudeoil #oil #schlumberger #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #chemistrylab #chemicalengineer #oilfield #technology #gate #oilandgaslife #oilindustry #physics #oilpatchlife #drillingrig #oilpatch #industry #scienceexperiment #lab #chemicalguys
