Drop Size Distributions Produced by Turbulent Pipe Flow of Immiscible Fluids through a Static Mixer

Abstract

aration was obtained using a membrane containing 20% sulfolane.The membrane behavior in the lower sulfolane concentration range probably results from a complicated SO2 solubility effect which changes with pressure and the amount of sulfolane in the membrane in a nonlinear manner. The decreased membrane selectivity and high flux at sulfolane compositions greater than 12.8% probably is due to over-plasticization which causes pin-hole leaks.An addition level of 8.2% sulfolane was chosen for further parameter studies.

An analysis of liquid CO2 drop formation with and without hydrate formation in static mixers

“…The SMD was used to represent mixing behavior of the liquid CO 2 and water in the static mixer. [21][22][23] The SMD is defined as…”

“…It is known that the SMD/D SM of the drops formed in Kenics static mixers from liquid-liquid flows are well correlated with the Weber number. 21,23 In our previous work, we demonstrated that the relationship could be applied in a liquid CO 2 -water system with hydrate formation, 18,20 and the correlation equation is…”

Optical measurements in evolving dispersed pipe flows

“…While in the present work the Re are kept relatively low, the static mixer that has large friction factor can induce turbulence (Middleman 1974) At the first axial measuring location the drop size will be determined mainly by the mixer. As can be seen in Fig.…”

Modeling interfacial area transport in multi-fluid systems

“…Middleman (Middleman, 1974) Middleman derived this equation by using the Kolmogoroff theory. Middleman assumed that the dispersive energy causing drop breakage was due to the inertial subrange eddies and that the drop was stabilized only by the interfacial tension.…”
