Abstract

See full text

Systems for facilitating fluid flow including a tubular segment having a length, a tube wall with a thickness, a tube wall exterior surface, and a tube wall interior surface are described. The tube wall interior surface defines a conduit configured to permit fluid flow along the length of the tubular segment. The tube wall may include a material configured to convey heat energy through the tube wall and at least one heating element coupled to an exterior surface of the tube wall along the length of the tubular segment, at least one heating element made of an enabler material configured to receive electromagnetic energy, convert the electromagnetic energy into heat energy, and release the heat energy into the tube wall. The system may include a source of electromagnetic energy associated with the at least one heating element. The source of electromagnetic energy is configured to transmit electromagnetic energy into the heating element.
