The research flow loop is used to study how a clean hole can be created during the drilling process. For example, when a well is being built, solid particles, called “cuttings” are generated as rocks ...

CO2 capture and storage is crucial in combating climate change, but transport presents unique challenges. At the advanced Colorado Flow Loop test facility, we perform research into these challenges.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has upgraded its High-Viscosity Flow Loop (HVFL) to meet increased demands in the oil and ...

New, automated closed-loop steering devices are significantly reducing deviations from ideal wellpath in horizontal wells. These devices immediately counteract deviations from the planned path through ...

A new closed-loop flow reaction system improves the yield and speed of enzymatic reaction sequences that convert amines—including dopamine and other biogenic amines—to alcohols with the same chirality ...

QUESTION: I’ve been shopping for a new outboard engine. My old engine was described as a “cross flow.” Some engines are referred to as a cross flow and some are loop-type engines. What is the ...
