Application of Thermally-Sprayed Coatings as Heat Tracers for Carbon Steel Pipes to Mitigate the Effect of Ice Accumulation and Freezing Damage
DownloadSpring 2020
The bursting of pipes due to freezing of contained liquid is considerably costly in industrial applications, resulting in over $4 billion in damage over the last decade alone in the United States. This doctoral research program attempted to study the root cause of the failure of pipes due to...
