Draft external flow

Cost of cooling towers. Prices are for conventional, wood-frame, induced-draft, cross-flow, cooling towers. Price does not include external piping, power wiring, special foundation work, or field labor. [Pg.810]

Convection is the heat transfer in the fluid from or to a surface (Fig. 11.28) or within the fluid itself. Convective heat transport from a solid is combined with a conductive heat transfer in the solid itself. We distinguish between free and forced convection. If the fluid flow is generated internally by density differences (buoyancy forces), the heat transfer is termed free convection. Typical examples are the cold down-draft along a cold wall or the thermal plume upward along a warm vertical surface. Forced convection takes place when fluid movement is produced by applied pressure differences due to external means such as a pump. A typical example is the flow in a duct or a pipe. [Pg.1060]

The DTB, crystallizer has a relatively slow-speed propeller agitator located within a draft-tube which draws a fine-crystal suspension up to a boiling zone of wide cross-sectional area, as shown in Figure 3.3(i). The fine-crystal magma then passes through an annular zone in which an additional baffle is located. Liquor flow continues upwards at low velocity while crystals settle out and fall to the base of the vessel. Liquor from the external pumped loop provides an up-... [Pg.64]

Frmdamentally, air-lift bioreactors are a modification of the bubble colunms that generate air-flow for medium circulation unidirectionally by having at least two columns—a raiser column and a downer column. They are either a draft tube or an external loop bioreactor. The bubbles sparged into a draft tube generate upward flow and medium pours into the annular space between the draft tube and bioreactor vessel and flows downwards. An essential design feature to consider is the bioreactor ratio of the height (H) to the diameter (D). Values of H/D of five or more are needed for sufficient mixing (18). Efficiency of medium circulation depends on the rate of aeration and on the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the draft tube to the total... [Pg.144]

Circulation and shear of the liquid in a vessel can be accomplished with external pumps and appropriate location of suction and discharge nozzles, but a satisfactory combination of vertical and lateral flows is obtained more economically by internal impellers, baffles, and draft tubes. Some general statements about dimensions, proportions, and internals of a liquid mixing vessel can be made. [Pg.287]

Raw stock is sent to the apparatus in tanks 1 installed in the drafting device (one is shown in the figure). Then it is sent by nitrogen flow to the batch boxes trifluoromonochloropropane to batch box 2, trichlorosilane to batch box 3, ethyl bromide to batch box 4, and dibutyl ether (dehydrated with burnt calcium chloride and filtered) to batch box 5. Before the synthesis begins, working mixtures I and II are prepared in apparatus 6. Mixture I consists of trichlorosilane and ethyl bromide, and mixture II consists of trichlorosilane, dibutyl ether, trifluoromonochloropropane and ethyl bromide. Mixture I is sent to batch box 8, and mixture II is sent to batch box 9. All batch boxes and apparatus 6 have jackets or coils (on their external walls) to be cooled with Freon at -15 - -20°C. [Pg.21]

In some cases a stirrer can be avoided and yet the solids can be kept in suspension by a relatively small amount of gas by means of a draft tube placed in the slurry reactor. Another possibility is external slurry recycling. This gives control over the circulation rate and allows for efficient heat transfer in an external heat exchanger placed in the recycle. The Swiss company Buss AG successfully applies the recycle slurry flow to drive a venturi jet tube, thus sucking the gas from the free board above the reactor back into the slurry (Fig. 2). [Pg.471]

The difficulties inherent to the external recycle reactor are avoided in an internal recycle reactor. Basically, an internal recycle reactor consists of a basket, in which a variable amount of catalyst can be placed, and an impeller for the internal circulation of the gas in the reactor. One of the most popular recycle reactors is the Berty reactor [29] shown in Figure 5.5. The Berty reactor has a magnetically driven blower and the gas from the turbine flows through a draft tube to the top of the catalyst bed. The flow rate through the bed can be calculated by measuring the pressure drop over the bed, if pressure taps on either side of the catalyst are available. For a catalyst to be studied in this reactor, the... [Pg.97]

The DTB crystallizers (Figure 11.13), whose eponymous representative has already been introduced, show three different representatives. In the subcategory DP crystallizer [6], the propeller of the circulation pump is divided into two sections. The section located within the draft tube creates an upstream, while the section found outside the draft tube, which is bordered by the partition of the clarification section, creates a downstream. The external and internal sections are adapted to one another and ideally produce exactly the same degree of recirculation. In this maimer, it is possible to use very low tip speeds for the desired recirculation flow rate. [Pg.220]

In airlift bioreactors the fluid volume of the vessel is divided into two interconnected zones by means of a baffle or draft-tube (Fig. 5). Only one of these zones is sparged with air or other gas. The sparged zone is known as the riser the zone that receives no gas is the downcomer (Fig. 5a-c). The bulk density of the gas-liquid dispersion in the gas-sparged riser tends to be less than the bulk density in the downcomer consequently, the dispersion flows up in the riser zone and downflow occurs in the downcomer. Sometimes the riser and the downcomer are two separate vertical pipes that are interconnected at the top and the bottom to form an external circulation loop (Fig. 5c). External-loop airlift reactors are less common in commercial processes compared to the internal-loop designs (Fig. 5a, b). The internal-loop configuration may be either a concentric draft-tube device or an split-cylinder (Fig. 5a, b). Airlift reactors have been successfully employed in nearly every kind of bioprocess—bacterial and yeast culture, fermentations of mycelial fungi, animal and plant cell culture, immobilized enzyme and cell biocatalysis, culture of microalgae, and wastewater treatment. [Pg.69]
