Abstract

In this study, two-phase non-Newtonian turbulent fluid flow in an inclined geothermal pipe with chemical reaction was considered. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations derived were solved numerically using Finite Difference Method. Influence of flow parameters on the temperature, concentration and velocity profiles were analyzed graphically. From the mathematical analysis of the model, it was established that the chemical reaction parameter significantly influenced the concentration distribution in both gaseous and liquid phases. Findings further revealed that decreasing the chemical reaction parameter resulted in decreased concentration of the geothermal fluid, which causes corrosion of geothermal pipes. These findings provide important information to engineers and researchers in making better decisions in terms of design, sizing and maintenance of flow systems in geothermal pipes.
