Recent research:
Pipes, wear, and serviceability in industrial fluid systems and energy production are studied to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency. The work analyzes piping configurations in hydrocarbon transport and pump systems to identify self-weight and thermal loads, comparing rigid vs. flexible layouts to ensure stresses and displacements stay within ASME B31.3 and API 610 standards; sustained and thermal stresses reach about 75% of maximum system stress, informing safer, more robust designs. In hydroelectric context, a wear-sediment correlation model supports preventive maintenance scheduling for Francis turbines; using blade thickness data and turbidity (PPM) measurements, least-squares analysis relates power and suspended solids to wear projection, enabling anticipatory maintenance, reducing downtime and costs while sustaining high availability (≈97–99%). A production-cleaning study applies MANOVA to evaluate detergents for anti-inflammatory soft gel lines, using pH, conductivity, and TOC at critical points; results indicate detergents differ significantly in TOC and conductivity, guiding better cleaning protocols and quality control. Additionally, a healthcare service simulation with ARENA demonstrates substantial reductions in patient waiting time, triage duration, checkout time, and doctor attention, validating a cost-effective model to improve patient care under learning and continuous improvement frameworks.
