this research includes both experimental and cfd investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a new type of column tray introduced as “concap” tray. the proposed column tray is used in contactor columns especially in stripping columns. the hydrodynamics of this concap tray is investigated in a 1.2m in diameter column. using air-water system, the experiments were performed for different liquid ...

Three-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of pressure drop across the turbine and solar radiance on the performance of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP). The SCPP system expected to provide electric power to a city is located in southern region of Iran (city of Lamerd, Fars province). Its dimensions are similar to the Manzanares prototype (built in Spain,...

This study evaluated the separation efficiency and developed a pressure drop model for a multicyclone separator used for natural gas purification. The collection and grade efficiencies of a multicyclone separator with 15 single cyclone separators were evaluated at inlet velocities of 6–24 m/s and particle concentrations of 30–2000 mg/m at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The experimen...
