Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The droplets in the core of Annular flow can be very small (typically 100 m) and hence tend to behave as rigid spheres with poor mass transfer coefficients. However, there is some deposition and re-entrainment of droplets, and this can be influenced by various tube inserts and constrictions. such deposition and re-entrainment gives significant surface renewal and hence enhanced mass transfer and also provides the mechanism for heat transfer between the droplets where reaction principally occurs and the wall film from which heat can be removed. We propose to measure these processes in a wide range of conditions and geometries, and to study the interactions between successive entrainment and deposition units to optimise the configuration for use as a reactor.
