Data for Re-entrainment

The model (called the high-pressure rig ) could be operated at pressures up to 100 bar. The fluids used in the rig were  

Plotting the data against this modified re-entraimnent number clearly brings all the results onto one line, giving hope that the re-entrainment nmn-ber can form the basis for a model of re-entrainment in cyclones. 

It turns out that also the film Weber number, Eq. (13.7.10), is successful in bringing some of the results onto one line. 

It thus seems that these parameters are promising for the formulation of a model for re-entrainment in demisting cyclones. We are of the opinion that the formulation of such a comprehensive model should be an important research priority for the near future, particularly in light of the intensifying interest in off-shore, subsea natural gas processing.
