Droplet Flow

Goses with entroined liquid droplets flow between the zig-zag baffles. The gos can easily make the turns while the liquid droplets impinge upon the walls of the baffles and coalesce to a size such that they drop downward, being too heavy to be carried in the gas. [Pg.248]

In high heat flux (heat transfer rate per unit area) boilers, such as power water tube (WT) boilers, the continued and more rapid convection of a steam bubble-water mixture away from the source of heat (bubbly flow), results in a gradual thinning of the water film at the heat-transfer surface. A point is eventually reached at which most of the flow is principally steam (but still contains entrained water droplets) and surface evaporation occurs. Flow patterns include intermediate flow (churn flow), annular flow, and mist flow (droplet flow). These various steam flow patterns are forms of convective boiling. [Pg.6]

For gas-liquid bubble flow, F and F+ are the gas and liquid velocities, respectively, and the zero-level set of 4> marks the bubble interface, which moves with time. For gas-droplets flows, on the other hand, F and V+ represent the... [Pg.7]

To compute the motion of two immiscible and incompressible fluids such as a gas liquid bubble column and gas-droplets flow, the fluid-velocity distributions outside and inside the interface can be obtained by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation using level-set methods as given by Sussman et al. (1994) ... [Pg.8]

The sample is drawn from its container with a peristaltic pump to a nebulizer. There are several designs for the nebulizer, but it performs the same function as the flame AA nebulizer, converting the sample solution into fine droplets (with the larger droplets flowing to a drain) that flow with the argon to the torch. The emissions are measured by the spectrometer at a particular zone in the torch, often called the viewing zone or analytical zone, as shown in Figure 9.19. [Pg.263]

Ponche et al., 1993). The droplet flow can be turned off and on to measure the change in the gas concentration caused by the droplets, or alternatively, the change in the gas concentration when the droplet surface area is changed can be measured. From the change in the gas concentration, the uptake of the gas by the liquid can then be extracted in the following manner. [Pg.168]

As the gas or vapour production rate increases, the flow regime may change from churn-turbulent to droplet flow, in which a fluidised bed of liquid droplets is present in the reactor (see Figure A3.1). This is of less practical interest for relief system sizing because if the gas or vapour rate is so high as to give droplet flow, the relief system size is likely to be impractically large. [Pg.27]

The spreader or downcomer outlet is located at the oil/water interface. From this point as the oil rises any free water trapped within the oil phase separates out. The water droplets flow countercurrent to the oil. Similarly, the water flows downward and oil droplets trapped in the water phase rise countercurrent to the water flow. [Pg.98]

Figures 4.7 through 4.9 are provided for hydrate limits to isenthalpic Joule-Thomson expansions, such as that which occurs when a gas with entrained free water droplets flows through a valve. A similar set of charts could in principle be determined for hydrate limits to isentropic (AS = 0) expansions such as would occur when a gas flows through a perfect turboexpander of a modern gas processing plant. To date, however, no such charts have been generated.

Since liquid does not completely wet the packing and since film thickness varies with radial position, classical film-flow theory does not explain liquid flow behavior, nor does it predict liquid holdup (30). Electrical resistance measurements have been used for liquid holdup, assuming liquid flows as rivulets in the radial direction with little or no axial and transverse movement. These data can then be empirically fit to film-flow, pore-flow, or droplet-flow models (14,19). The real flow behavior is likely a complex combination of these different flow models, that is, a function of the packing used, the operating parameters, and fluid properties. Incorporating calculations for wetted surface area with the film-flow model allows prediction of liquid holdup within 20% of experimental values (18). [Pg.53]

To break up agglomerates or disperse liquid droplets, flow forces that exceed a certain minimum value are required. In addition, the type of flow is crucial for the dispersion result, namely, the respective ratio of shear and extension. The shear and extension rates are not constant over the cross-section in an extruder. There are zones with more or less loading. In addition, there are zones with almost pure shear flow and zones where extensional flow dominates. The different zones in the cross-section of a twin screw extruder are shown in Fig. 9.15. [Pg.171]

Different authors have identified various flow regimes in large channels. In both vertical and horizontal configurations these include bubbly, dispersed bubbly, slug, pseudo-slug, churn, annular, annular mist and dispersed droplet flows. An important difference in minichannels is that the liquid flow is preferentially laminar. Surface tension effects have more and more influence as the hydraulic diameter is reduced. Gravity becomes negligible compared to surface tension so that the orientation is less influential. [Pg.226]
