Abstract:Droplet separators or demisters are extensively used in the chemical industry. The effectiveness of many demisters is decisively affected by droplet sizes. As the misty gas passes through the demister, the liquid droplets impinge on the walls and form a liquid film. A part of this film can be re-entrained by the gas flow in the form of larger droplets. These droplets can escape the demister, affecting its efficiency. The measurement of drop size distributions inside the zigzag passages of the demister can prov… Show more
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.
