Wall mass transfer rates of dissolved oxygen have been measured in a vertical pipe, 5 cm. I.D., carrying aqueous slurries of 5, 10, and 15 vol%, 60–100 and 30–50 mesh sands at velocities in the range 1.2 to 3.35 m/s. The results show increases of up to 100% over those found with water, with the effect of the solids increasing with decreasing particle size and increasing with increasing concentration. The jD factors decreased linearly with increasing Res, unlike the previous results with horizontal pipes where maxima were found relating to vertical concentration gradients.
Measurements have been made of the rate of mass transfer of dissolved oxygen to the walls of 5 cm diameter horizontal pipes carrying aqueous slurries of sand and iron ore, in the concentration range 10 — 20 vol % at velocities up to twice the critical value for deposition. The results which show that the suspended particles greatly increase the rate of mass transfer are discussed in terms of the analogies and are compared with the results of previous workers for heat and momentum transfer. In the case of mass transfer in systems with high Schmidt numbers it appears that there is a specific effect of the solid particles relating to the disruption of the viscous sub‐layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
