A Computational Code for Sand Erosion Prediction in Elbows and Tees: An Improvement to the Direct Impingement Model to Account for Temperature Dependence

Prediction of erosion rate is important for material selection and operations design in production and transportation of oil and gas industry. Using Visual Basic Programming (VB6), a computational package was developed to provide a comprehensive sand erosion prediction tool. The two models used...
