Predicting Average Void Fraction and Void Fraction Uncertainty in Fixed Beds of Poly Lobed Particles

Void Fraction Disturbances in Bubbly

-The paper is concerned with the flow of dispersions of gas bubbles in liquid, with bubble sizes such that the inertia forces on the bubbles are of importance to the dynamics. One-dimensional conservation equations are derived, which govern the flow when the deviations from the uniform state are small. These are used to describe the features of the propagation of void fraction disturbances, and...

ECT and LS-SVM Based Void Fraction Measurement of Oil-Gas Two-Phase Flow

A method based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and an improved Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. In the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in LS-SVM, pruning skills are employed to make LS-SVM sparse and robust; then the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem...

Thermoelectric Properties of Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Nanofiber Mat with a Large Void Fraction

The thermoelectric properties of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanofiber mat which has higher crystallinity-and thus exhibits larger carrier mobility-than a non-fibrous P3HT film, were investigated. No significant difference was observed in the maximum values of the power factor between the P3HT nanofiber mat and the P3HT film. However, the thermal conductivity of the nanofiber mat was less t...
