Dispersion of Gas by a Liquid-Jet Ejector

Evaluation of Cavitation in a Liquid-Liquid Ejector

This paper summarizes the numerical analysis of a liquid-liquid ejector pump with focus on the accuracy of the employed cavitation model and in view of its potential application as a dualor multi-liquid mixing and injection system. While the use of gas-phase or gas/liquid-phase ejection systems has found wide application in gas/hybrid burners and scrubbers for air pollution control; the use of ...

The Primary Breakup of a Round Liquid Jet by a Coaxial Flow of Gas

Numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the primary atomization of a round liquid jet surrounded by a coaxial flow of gas. A Refined Level Set Grid (RLSG) method coupled to a Lagrangian spray model is used to capture the whole breakup process of the liquid jet. In the near field of the liquid jet, where the primary breakup occurs, motion and topological changes of the liquid jet are ...

Optimization of a High-Efficiency Jet Ejector by Computational Fluid Dynamics Software. (May 2005) Somsak Watanawanavet, B.S., Chulalongkorn University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Mark T. Holtzapple Dr. Charles J. Glover Research was performed to optimize high-efficiency jet ejector geometry (Holtzapple, 2001) by varying nozzle diameter ratios from 0.03 to 0.21, and motive velocities f...

experimental investigation of power consumption, mass transfer coefficient and flow regime in gas-liquid dispersion systems

Simulation of Hydrodynamic Dispersion in Gas/Liquid Microreactors

Dispersion and spreading of concentration signals in gas/liquid microreactors is studied with methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It is shown that conventional reactor designs exhibit a broad residence-time distribution due to convective signal dispersion. This result is supported by experiments monitoring the transport of a liquid plug introduced into the microreactor by a microdisp...
