A Study to Determine Vapor Generation from the Surface of Gasoline Flowing in an Inclined Channel Using a Continuous Thermodynamics Approach

Modelling of stratified gas–liquid two-phase flow in horizontal circular pipes

“…Biberg and Halvorsen [13] studied analytically two-phase stratified laminar flow in a circular pipe and obtained interfacial and wall shear stress distributions. Banerjee and Isaac [14] performed a numerical study to determine the rate of evaporation of gasoline while flowing through an inclined two-dimensional channel. Two-phase vapor-liquid stratified flow was solved by using the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method.…”

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of direct contact heat and mass transfer of a multicomponent two-phase film flow in an inclined channel at sub-atmospheric pressure

“…The evaporation rate was determined by the diffusion flux of gas species at the gas-liquid interface in the form of Fick's Law, and turbulence was treated using the renormalization group k-e turbulence model. Banerjee and Issac [10] studied the evaporation of gasoline, which mainly considered the diffusion effect in gas mixtures. The gasoline mixtures were described by the continuous thermodynamics approach.…”

“…The interfacial area as well as the gradients of species and temperature near the vapor-liquid interface was calculated based on the piecewise linear interface calculation method. In these investigations [8][9][10][11][12], mixtures with binary or ternary components were studied, and the gradients of mass fraction and temperature at the interface were obtained to determine the interfacial jump conditions (the discontinuity of species concentration and energy at the vapor/gas-liquid interface). Evaporation, absorption, or distillation was investigated.…”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Stratified Gas–Liquid Flow in Downward-Inclined Pipes

“…The results revealed the influence of the liquid flow field development on the interfacial structure, suggesting that the onset of the interfacial waves is strongly affected by the liquid flow structure. Banerjee and Isaac [12] performed a numerical study to determine the rate of evaporation of gasoline while flowing through an inclined two-dimensional channel. More recently, Matsubara and Naito [13] investigated experimentally the effect of liquid viscosity on flow patterns of gas-liquid horizontal flow.…”
