This paper addresses an experimental investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a modified slotted sieve tray. Slotted sieve tray (Push valve sieve tray) is a sieve tray that the push valves have been utilized on the tray deck to eliminate liquid gradients and non-uniformity of liquid distribution on the tray. The air-water system was used in an industrial scale experimental rig with an inte...

A general mathematical model based on the principal of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is proposed for analyzing the energy consumption of trayed column distillation processes related the tray structures, which can be used not only to calculate the energy consuming in different operational conditions, but also, and more importantly, to evaluate the entropy generation rate (EGR) of the different ...

The mass-transfer trays HighspeedTray, HighFlexiTray and SieveTray belong to a new generation of mass transfer trays that enable increase the capacity-efficiency profile and the flexibility of tray columns significantly. This increase is achieved by a special vapor and liquid distribution and contact systems installed on these trays and a combination of two different tray designs. These trays c...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...
