Erosion, a major threat to the safety and reliability of piping components, can significantly impact their integrity and functionality. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to systematically investigate the erosion behavior of four elbow designs (standard 90- degree elbow, 18-degree gored elbow, 22.5-degree gored elbow, and 30- degree gored elbow) subjected to multiphase air-sand and water-sand flows. Our primary objective is to identify the optimal elbow design that effectively mitigates erosion and enhances the safety and reliability of piping systems. Our findings reveal that the 22.5-degree gored elbow exhibits significantly lower erosion rates compared to other designs, particularly in air-sand flows, making it the superior choice for reducing erosion by up to 32% compared to the standard elbow. However, the standard 90-degree elbow demonstrates greater erosion resistance in water-sand flows. This research contributes valuable insights for selecting the optimal elbow design in multiphase flow, ultimately enhancing the design and longevity of piping systems.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) components are commonly used for either prototypes or end products, mostly made of polymers. Polymers offer low frictional resistance to wear, so most of the engineering polymers find their increased usage in day-to-day industrial as well as domestic needs. The influence of many process controlling elements on the mechanical part properties is already being studied extensively, which demands the study of tribological characteristics like friction and wear rate under varying normal load (NL), sliding velocities (V) and part building orientations (PBO). The results showed a significant impact of the PBO and NL at various V on the tribological properties under various significant suitable sliding circumstances. Cracks were formed in the cylindrical tribometer specimens of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) fabricated at low PBO when operated at high NL, and V. Vertical PBO to the FDM building platform in the layers form where a number of inter-layers can bear maximum NL at higher values of V resulted in uniform wear and low frictions. Friction was noticed very low at minimum NL when PBO was 0° (horizontal) and 90° (vertical), but increased at high NL between PBO of 15° to 60°. The FDM parts improved compared to those from conventional manufacturing processes.
