Experimental Investigation of Inertial Mixing in Droplets

Achieving the fast mixing requirements posed by the chemical, biological, and life science community for confined microchannel flows remains an engineering challenge. The viscous and surface tension forces that dominate conventional micro-flows undermine fast, efficient mixing. By increasing the collisional velocity of reagent droplets, inertia can be exploited to increase mixing rates. This pa...

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 ...

New Local Composition-Equation of State Mixing Rules for High Pressure Vapor-Liquid Equilibria Using EOS/AE

In this study using Equation of State/ Helmholtz excess energy function,  EOS/AE, two new local composition-Equation-of State mixing rules, LCEOS1 and LCEOS2 were developed in which the energy interaction parameters were expressed in terms of attractive and repulsive parameters of the cubic equation of state. The EOS/AE models are applied for equilibrium calculation of nat...

Experimental Investigation of Phase Inversion of Liquid-Liquid Systems in a Spray Extraction Column

An experimental study of the phase inversion behavior of liquid-liquid dispersion has been conducted in a spray extraction column for systems of toluene / water, n-hexane/water, CCl4/water, toluene /water + glycerol (25 % wt), toluene + CCl4 (25 % wt) / water and toluene / acetic acid (5 % wt)/water. The effects of physical properties, mass transfer and column geometry...
