Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of pipe diameter on horizontal annular flow is examined. Measurements of the local film height, the local droplet flux, the local velocity, and the entrained fraction for annular flow in a 9.53 cm horizontal pipe have been obtained. The measurements are compared with the results from previous investigators for horizontal annular flow in pipes with diameters of 2.54 cm and 5.08 cm. A new large scale two-phase flow facility has been designed and constructed. The facility has the ability to incline a 26.5 m pipe at angles between positive and minus 2.5 degrees from the horizontal. Local film height measurements show that the film distribution becomes increasingly asymmetric with increasing pipe diameter. The effect of pipe diameter on the asymmetries of the liquid film distribution is predicted approximately by a Froude number. At Froude numbers below 50, the liquid is stratified as a pool at the pipe bottom. A turbulent diffusion model developed by a co-researcher for the droplet concentration distribution is in good agreement with measurements at low gas velocities and low droplet concentrations. At higher droplet concentrations, velocity measurements suggest the existence of a secondary flow in the gas which inhibits droplet settling. Entrainment correlations developed from experiments in small diameter pipes, over predict the entrained fraction in large diameter pipes. A generalized entrainment correlation based on an equilibrium rate balance between the rate of atomization of droplets from the liquid film and the rate of deposition of droplets back to the liquid film is developed. The correlation is easily interpreted for two extremes of the liquid film distribution. When the film is distributed uniformly around the pipe wall, the entrainment relation reduces to a form developed by previous researchers. For conditions where the liquid film is stratified as a pool at the pipe bottom, a new entrainment relation is developed which is in good agreement with the results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting tools for understanding the behaviour of gas-liquid flows based on the ways large scale behaviour relates to small scale interactions, this text is ideal for engineers seeking to enhance the safety and efficiency of natural gas pipelines, water-cooled nuclear reactors, absorbers, distillation columns and gas lift pumps. The review of advanced concepts in fluid mechanics enables both graduate students and practising engineers to tackle the scientific literature and engage in advanced research. It focuses on gas-liquid flow in pipes as a simple system with meaningful experimental data. This unified theory develops design equations for predicting drop size, frictional pressure losses and slug frequency, which can be used to determine flow regimes, the effects of pipe diameter, liquid viscosity and gas density. It describes the effect of wavy boundaries and temporal oscillations on turbulent flows, and explains transition between phases, which is key to understanding the behaviour of gas-liquid flows.

Download or read book Annular Two Phase Flow written by Geoffrey Hewitt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annular Two-Phase Flow presents the wide range of industrial applications of annular two-phase flow regimes. This book discusses the fluid dynamics and heat transfer aspects of the flow pattern. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the classification of the various types of interface distribution observed in practice. This text then examines the various regimes of two-phase flow with emphasis on the regions of occurrence of the annular flow regime. Other chapters consider the single momentum and energy balances, which illustrate the differences and analogies between single- and two-phase flows. This book discusses as well the simple modes for annular flow with consideration to the calculation of the profile of shear stress in the liquid film. The final chapter deals with the techniques that are developed for the measurement of flow pattern, entrainment, and film thickness. This book is a valuable resource for chemical engineers.
Download or read book The Effect of the Liquid Viscosity in Two phase Two component Flow written by Melvin Jerome Fohrman and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation was made of the effect of the liquid-phase viscosity on slip ratio using a forced-circulation two-phase two-component system operating at atmospheric pressure for air and glycerol-water mixtures. The effect of liquid-phase viscosity on pressure drop was observed, and the flow regimes were identified and studied. The approximate ranges of the variables investigated were: liquid viscosity, 0.75 to 500 cp; quality, 0.005 to 0.0184; liquid flow rate, 0.2 to 0.8 Ib/sec; air flow rate, 0.001 to 0.015 Ib/sec; and void-volume fraction, 0.34 to 0.78. The void-volume fraction and the approximate distribution of the two-phase mixture at a particular cross-sectional element of the test section were determined by -attenuation techniques. The slip-ratio and pressure-drop results were not found to indicate any considerable variations caused by changes in flow pattern or liquid flow rates for the range of flow conditions and liquid viscosities encountered.

This book was released on 2020-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides design engineers using gas-liquid two-phase flow in different industrial applications the necessary fundamental understanding of the two-phase flow variables. Two-phase flow literature reports a plethora of correlations for determination of flow patterns, void fraction, two- phase pressure drop and non-boiling heat transfer correlations. However, the validity of a majority of these correlations is restricted over a narrow range of two -phase flow conditions. Consequently, it is quite a challenging task for the end user to select an appropriate correlation/model for the type of two-phase flow under consideration. Selection of a correct correlation also requires some fundamental understanding of the two-phase flow physics and the underlying principles/assumptions/limitations associated with these correlations. Thus, it is of significant interest for a design engineer to have knowledge of the flow patterns and their transitions and their influence on two-phase flow variables. To address some of these issues and facilitate selection of appropriate two-phase flow models, this volume presents a succinct review of the flow patterns, void fraction, pressure drop and non-boiling heat transfer phenomenon and recommend some of the well scrutinized modeling techniques.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to provide better understanding of how varying pipe diameter affects horizontal two-phase flow though two-phase frictional pressure loss analysis and drift-flux analysis. Frictional pressure loss analysis is performed by acquiring two-phase pressure loss data from previous research and several experiments at the Advanced Multi-Phase Flow Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University. Data collected by past researchers at the AMFL in the small diameter horizontal test facility and data from experiments conducted in the large diameter horizontal test facility comprise the database for this analysis. The Lockhart-Martinelli method modified by Chisholm and the - method are analyzed for their accuracy at predicting frictional pressure loss across both pipe diameters included in this study. The predictive models produced by each method are compared to the experimental database, and it is determined that the Lockhart-Martinelli method, with a new suggested value of the Chisholm coefficient, provides the best predictive model for two-phase frictional pressure loss.Drift-flux analysis is performed across the same experimental database collected at AMFL by multiple researchers. This analysis is first completed for the small diameter and large diameter databases separately. It is determined that in larger pipe diameters and at low values of superficial liquid velocity, void-weighted bubble velocity does not increase linearly with the total superficial velocity, as is predicted by the drift-flux method, but decreases with total superficial velocity as the flow develops. The combined experimental database is then analyzed using both traditional drift-flux analysis and modified drift-flux analysis in the - plane. It is determined that the original drift-flux analysis provides superior predictive capabilities for two-phase parameters, and is capable of accurately predicting them over a range of pipe diameters.

Book excerpt: Slurry Flow: Principles and Practice describes the basic concepts and methods for understanding and designing slurry flow systems, in-plan installations, and long-distance transportation systems. The goal of this book is to enable the design or plant engineer to derive the maximum benefit from a limited amount of test data and to generalize operating experience to new situations. Design procedures are described in detail and are accompanied by illustrative examples needed by engineers with little or no previous experience in slurry transport. The technical literature in this field is extensive: this book facilitates its use by surveying current research results and providing explanations of mechanistic flow models. This discussion of background scientific principles helps the practitioner to better interpret test data, select pumps, specify materials of construction, and choose measuring devises for slurry transport systems. The extensive range of topics covered in Slurry Flow: Principles and practice includes slurry rheology, homogeneous and heterogeneous slurry flow principles, wear mechanisms, pumping equipment, instrumentation, and operating aspects.
