“…In this study, to determine TDRs and ERs in the piping structure due to solid particles of bitumen, CFD analysis was conducted utilizing the Euler-Lagrange model because of the particle tracking combined with the k-ε turbulence in the model [27]. The Euler-Lagrange model applies the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations to solve the governing equations for both the liquid (l) and particle (p) phases [28]. To access the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulence dissipation rate, the standard k-ε turbulence model was utilized, and for the erosion rate prediction, the DPM was employed to monitor the bitumen particles [29].…”

Erosion in piping structures poses a significant challenge for oil industries as the conveyance of solid particles leads to operational malfunctions and structural failures affecting the overall oil plant operation. Conventional oil recovery methods have historically dominated, while in response to the challenges imposed by declining conventional oil production, the global shift towards non-conventional methods necessitates a reevaluation of erosion mitigation strategies due to increased piping infrastructure. Therefore, in this study research has been conducted to reduce erosion and optimize the piping structure. Variables impacting the erosion in piping were investigated from the literature, and simulation cases were made based on the impacted variables. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) analysis was performed using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) to determine the erosion wear rate in each simulation case; based on the CFD results, variables with low Turbulent Dissipation Rates (TDRs) and Erosion Rates (ERs) were determined, and the optimized piping structure was designed. As a result, the optimized piping structure showed an 80% reduction in the turbulent dissipation rate and a 99.2% decrease in the erosion wear rate. These findings highlight a substantial improvement in erosion control, ensuring the safety and longevity of piping structures in oil plant operations.

“…Surface engineering plays a crucial role in protecting biomaterials used in implants. It protects against corrosion, biodegradation, and erosion [18,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Various coating processes are used to enhance the surface of engineering and biomedical materials [39][40][41][42].…”

Medical implants and other biomaterials are used by millions of individuals all over the globe to restore lost bodily functions due to injury or illness. Many of these implants fail after a short time or have difficulties, despite the fact that they play important roles in keeping a person's life safe or increasing the quality of their lives. It is the lack of biocompatibility that has proven to be the biggest downfall of biomaterials. Investments in this industry may be made using a thin film of hydroxyapatite powder (HAP) on stainless steel. Plates, screws, pins, and artificial joints are only some fixation devices for bones that often use 316L stainless steel. However, due to its unique advantageous qualities such as super-elasticity and low-profile feature, thin film HAP signals a high potential for use in compact new cardiac devices like the cardiovascular system and protecting stent grafts.

“…In most cases, thin and thick coatings are placed on bioimplants in order to protect them from corrosion and erosion [11][12][13][14]. Both corrosion and erosion have a significant negative impact on the longevity and tenacity of the various materials [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Various surface protection techniques are used commercially, such as claddings [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], electrochemical vapor deposition (EVD) [44], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [45][46][47][48], plasma vacuum deposition (PVD) [13,42,[49][50][51][52][53][54], HVOF/HVAF [17,…”

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is still one of the most common bioactive coatings used on metal implants in orthopaedics due to its biocompatibility. The application of HAp to metallic implants can be accomplished using a variety of processes. Plasma spray (PS) coating stands out as the method of choice due to its dependability, affordability, and ability to protect metal surfaces against rust and wear. The use of HAp in medicine has been limited due to the material's unfavorable mechanical characteristics, such as brittleness, a lack of fracture toughness, and inadequate tensile strength. In addition, the remodeling durations of HAp-covered implants are significantly longer, the rate of osseointegration is significantly lower, and no antimicrobial actions or features are present in these implants. The mechanical and biological properties of HAp have been improved by applying various approaches, all of which fall under the category of surface modification tactics. Dopants are one of those strategies that are extremely successful at changing the characteristics and using them in HAp is one of those methods. As a result, this review study aims to consolidate data on implant Hap coating using the plasma spray approach and assess the benefits and problems associated with employing this method. In addition, the paper addresses how altering the structural, chemical, and mechanical features of HAp can assist in overcoming these limitations. In conclusion, it explains how the incorporation of entering the HAp structure can change the features that, when coated using the plasma spraying approach, alter the functionality of the implant.
