Abstract:T-junctions are important structures used in a number of industries to separate gas and liquid. This work studied the effect of the orientation of the side arm on the separation efficiency using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach, and a new mechanical model is developed based on force analysis to predict the liquid carryout threshold. Laboratory experiments from published works are used to verify the CFD simulation and the new model. In this work, the angle of the side arm to the horizontal plane, α… Show more
