Experimental study on bubble absorber with multiple tangential nozzles

Visualization study of bubble growth with multiple tangential nozzles is investigated in a bubble absorber. Bubble behavior is studied with different flowing condition like still, co-current and counter-current flow of water. Effect of air flow rate, water flow rate, nozzle diameters, number of nozzles and orientation of nozzle angle with reference to vertical plane on bubble diameter is studied. Results are compared with the available information which is found to be in good agreement. Bubble diameter during detachment increases with increase in gas flow rate in all the above flow conditions. Performance between single and double nozzle also compared and presented in this paper. Based on this study non-dimensional correlations are proposed.
