Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book summarises the outcom of a priority research programme: 'Analysis, Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows'. The results of 24 individual research projects are presented. The main objective of the research programme was to provide a better understanding of the physical basis for multiphase gas-liquid flows as they are found in numerous chemical and biochemical reactors. The research comprises steady and unsteady multiphase flows in three frequently found reactor configurations, namely bubble columns without interiors, airlift loop reactors, and aerated stirred vessels. For this purpose new and improved measurement techniques were developed. From the resulting knowledge and data, new and refined models for describing the underlying physical processes were developed, which were used for the establishment and improvement of analytic as well as numerical methods for predicting multiphase reactors. Thereby, the development, lay-out and scale-up of such processes should be possible on a more reliable basis.

Download or read book Modelling of Hydrodynamics in Heterogeneous Bubble Column written by Mohd Shahimie Selamat and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The applications of bubble columns are very important as multiphase contactors and reactors in process industry. They are wide and extensively used in chemical, petrochemical and biochemical industries. The advantages of bubble column are low maintenance and operating cost due to the compactness and no moving part. They also have an excellent mass and heat transfer characteristic or high heat and mass transfer coefficients, and high durability of catalyst or packing material. It is important to understand the nature of hydrodynamics and operational parameters to characterize their operation including pressure drop, gas superficial velocity, bubble rise velocity, etc., to do the design and scale-up process. Although experimental methods are available to elucidate the multiphase flow in bubble column by the means of advanced experimental methods i.e. X-ray tomography and laser doppler anemometry, the experimental setup is often expensive to develop. Alternatively, the computational fluid dynamics can be used to evaluate the performance of bubble column at lower cost compared to experimental setup. In this work commercial CFD software, FLUENT 6.3 was employed for modeling of gasliquid flow in a bubble column. Multiphase simulations were performed using an Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model and the drag coefficient of spherical and distorted bubbles was modeled using the Tomiyama (1995) and Schiller-Naumann (1935) models. The effect of the void fractions on the drag coefficient was modeled using the correlation by Behzadi (2004). The CFD predictions were compared to the experimental measurement adopted from literature. The CFD predicts the turbulent kinetic energy, gas hold-up and the liquid axial velocity fairly well, although the results seem to suggest that further improvement on the interfacial exchange models and possibly further refinement on the two-fluid modeling approaches are necessary especially for the liquid axial velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. It is clear from the modeling exercise performed in this work that CFD is a great method for modeling the performance of bubble column. Furthermore, the CFD method is certainly less expensive than the experimental characterization studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding multiphase flows in bubble columns is crucial for various engineering applications. This study models a rectangular bubble column of laminar flow with a height of 2 meters and a width of 0.5 meters, where the inlet velocity of air is set at 3.3 mm/s. The simulations were done on Ansys Fluent using the mixture model, Volume of Fluid model and Eulerian model for two different numerical schemes, namely the first order upwind and the quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinetics schemes. The mesh independence study demonstrated that in 2D simulations, mesh independence was achieved exclusively using the Eulerian model indicating that the Eulerian model is the most effective for simulating bubbly flow. Furthermore, when applying finer meshes in 3D simulations, the results closely aligned with the 2D simulations, supporting the validity of a 2D approach in the case of such flat bubble column. Additionally, finer meshes show thinner bubble swarms, particularly at the inlet. This study also investigated the impact of various parameters on bubble flow dynamics. It was found that the air inlet velocity, bubble sizes, and the properties of the working fluids significantly influenced the results. Specifically, as the air inlet velocity increased, the air volume fraction also increased. Conversely, increasing bubblesizes led to a decrease in both the air volume fraction and the water velocity, due to a reduced surface area to volume ratio. Moreover, changes in the working fluids showed that viscosity and density greatly affect the bubbly flow within the bubble column, highlighting the sensitivity of the system to these fluid properties.

Download or read book Mass Transfer with Chemical Reaction in Multiphase Systems written by E. Alper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 1079 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of "mass transfer with chemical reaction" takes place whenever one phase is brought into contact with one or more other phases not in chemical equilibrium with it. This phenomenon has industrial, biological and physiological importance. In chemical process engineering, it is encountered in both separ ation processes and reaction engineering. In some cases, a chemical reaction may deliberately be employed for speeding up the rate of mass transfer and/or for increasing the capacity of the solvent; in other cases the multiphase reaction system is a part of the process with the specific aim of product formation. Finally, in some cases, for instance "distillation with chemical reaction", both objectives are involved. Although the subject is clearly a chemical engineering undertakin~, it requires often a good understanding of other subjects, such as chemistry and fluid mechanics etc., leading to publications in diversified areas. On the other har.d, the subject has always been a major field and one of the most fruitful for chemical engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bubble columns are widely used as gas- iquid contactors and as reactors in chemical, petrochemical and biochemical industries. Effective mixing as well as high interfacial area between the phases, leading to improved heat and mass transfer characteristics, relatively cheap to install and the lack of moving parts, are the factors that render under bubble columns an attractive choice as reactors for the described processes. Gas-liquid flow in bubble column reactors is characterized by a combination of inherently unsteady complex processes with widely varying spatial and temporal scales. Understanding the complexity of the fluid dynamics and mass transfer in bubble column and is important due to its application in the chemical and bioprocess industries. The potential of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for describing the hydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer of bubble columns has been established by several publications in the past. CFD predicts what happens quantitatively, when fluids flow, often with the complications of simultaneous flow of heat, mass transfer (eg perspiration, dissolution), phase change (eg melting, freezing, boiling), chemical reaction (eg combustion, rusting), mechanical movement (eg of pistons, fans, rudders), stresses in and displacement of immersed or surrounding solids. Thus CFD can successfully be used to study the gas-liquid mass transfer in bubble column reactor. In the present work an attempt has been made to understand the hydrodynamic behavior and gas-liquid mass transfer (transfer of oxygen from air to de-aerated water) of a concurrent gas(air)-liquid(water) up-flow bubble column by CFD analysis. The system used in the study is a cylindrical column of 10 cm ID and 1.88 m height. GAMBIT 2.3.16 has been used to generate a 2D coarse grid of 0.01m by 0.01m mesh size. The eulerian-eulerian approach has been used for modeling the multiphase flow and the oxygen mass transfer from air to de-aerated water and the column hydrodynamics. The.
