Investigation of Liquid–Liquid Two-Phase Flow Pattern in Microreactors for Biodiesel Production
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
"> In the present study, transesterification of soybean oil to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) was carried out in the microreactor. The system performance was investigated in the presence of hexane as a cosolvent. Furthermore, the effect of number of micromixer’s inlets on the mixing was one of the objectives in this work. For the goals mentioned above, three different experiments were done with and without cosolvent in two and three inlet micromixers under optimum conditions. Both flow pattern observations and Gas Chromatgoraphy (GC) characterization of FAME samples demonstrated that cosolvent technique and micromixer application could significantly influence the FAME yield in biodiesel production.

Investigation of Liquid-liquid Two Phase Flow in Biodiesel Production
Over the past two years the Australian biodiesel industry has faced difficult times causing large scale producers to drastically curtail production with some even ceasing operation. This turn of events has highlighted the advantages of small scale production, which are investigated in depth in a companion paper (de Boer and Bahri 2009a). For small scale production to be viable the transesterifi...

The Indication of Two-Phase Flow Pattern and Slug Characteristics in a Pipeline Using CFD Method
Multiphase flows are commonly encountered in oil and gas industries. The transport of multiphase flow causes the formation of slug, the increase of pressure drop and the possibility of phase changes therefore, a set of simulation runs was performed to predict flow regimes in a horizontal pipeline, and the results were compared with the Baker chart. The effects of small downward inclinations of ...
