Liquid-to-gas density ratio

For ambient pressures suflBciently less than the critical pressure of the fuel, the droplet remains in the liquid phase throughout its lifetime. The large liquid-to-gas density ratio then implies that the liquid droplet possesses large thermal and mass inertia compared with the gas phase subsequently the gas-phase processes can be assumed to be quasi-steady. This assumption has been found to be very accurate even at moderate pressures (28), For near-critical or super-critical vaporization occurring typically in rocket motors and diesel engines, unsteady gas-phase analyses are required (29-34,85). 

Make an order-of-magnitude estimate of the diffusion coefficient in simple gases other than He and H2, given that the velocity of soxmd at atmospheric pressure is of the order 300 m/ s and the liquid to gas densities for most gases are in the approximate ratio of 1 1000. (Hints Sound propagates approximately at the same speed as that... 

AP is the pressure drop, cm of water p and Pg are the density of the scrubbing liquid and gas respectively, g/cm L/g is the velocity of the gas at the throat inlet, cm/s QtIQg is the volumetric ratio of liquid to gas at the throat inlet, dimensionless It is the length of the throat, cm Coi is the drag coefficient, dimensionless, for the mean liquid diameter, evaluated at the throat inlet and d[ is the Sauter mean diameter, cm, for the atomized liquid. The atomized-liquid mean diameter must be evaluated by the Nuldyama and Tanasawa [Trans. Soc Mech Eng (Japan), 4, 5, 6 (1937-1940)] equation ... 

When liquid content of the feed is high, a condenser and a separator are needed. The liquid-to-gas ratio can be as high, so that even at reaction temperatures a liquid phase is present. The reactor still performs as a CSTR, however the response time for changes will be much longer than for vapor phase alone. Much lower RPM will be needed for liquid-phase studies (or liquid and gas phase experiments) since the density of the pumped fluid is an order-of-magnitude greater than for vapor phase alone. In this case a foamy mixture or a liquid saturated with gas is recirculated.

For a separator in operation, the efficiency of particle collection varies with liquid and gas densities. A separator operating at a constant temp-tcrature and pressure has a variable gas capacity approximately directly proportional to the square root of the ratio of difference in density of the liquid and the gas divided by the density of the gas. 

The foam expansion ratio or its reciprocal value the foam liquid volume fraction, called also relative or volume density of a foam, is used as a basic parameter characterizing the liquid to gas ratio in the foam.
