Ju l 2 00 7 Experimental studies of liquid - liquid dispersion in a turbulent shear flow
نویسنده
چکیده
We study liquid-liquid dispersions in a turbulent Taylor–Couette flow, produced between two counterrotating coaxial cylinders. In pure Water and in counterrotation, Reynolds numbers up to 1.4× 10 are reached. The liquids we use are a low-viscous Oil and pure Water or a Sodium Iodide solution with a refractive index matched to that of Oil, in order to get transparent dispersions. We first characterize the single-phase flow, in terms of threshold for transition to turbulence, scaling of the torque and measurements of the mean flow and of the Reynolds stress by stereoscopic PIV. We then study the increase of the dissipation in the two-phase flows and find that the torque per unit mass can be twice the torque for a single-phase flow. Long-time behaviours are also reported.

متن کاملExperimental studies of liquid-liquid dispersion in a turbulent shear flow
We built up an experiment to study liquid-liquid dispersions in a turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, produced between two counterrotating coaxial cylinders, of radii ri = 100mm and ro = 110mm (gap ratio η = ri/ro = 0.909). The useful length is L = 185mm. There is a space of 10mm between the cylinders bottom ends and a free surface on the top. The cylinders rotation rates ωi and ωo can be set indepe...

Gas Absorption with Chemical Reaction in Turbulent Flow
In order to increase the rate of gas absorption, chemical reaction in the liquid phase is considered. The purpose of this paper was to simulate gas absorption process by a liquid film over a spherical packing incorporating eddy viscosity and diffusivity. Second order chemical reaction for two different cases (fast and slow) were considered. The system partial differential equations obtained...
متن کاملTurbulent Events and Gas-Side Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Wavy Air-Water Stratified Flow
Turbulence structure on the gas side of a wavy stratified flow was experimentally investigated in a near horizontal 18.7 cm (H) 10 cm (W) 5.5m (L) rectangular duct.By applying the Variable Interval Time Averaging (VITA) technique to the hot wire anemometer measurements frequency of occurrence of turbulent events were detected near the air-water interface. Experimental results showed that fr...
