Study on liquid film velocity and flow pattern transition in gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC)
The gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) is a compact and efficient oil and gas separation device. The separation performance of GLCC is directly related to the flow pattern of its USLF, and the velocity distribution and determination of the flow pattern transition of USLF depends on the accurate calculation of the wall-friction and gas-liquid interfacial factors. Air and water were used as the media and the tangential velocity and axial velocity distribution of the USLF measured using an image velocimetry system. The liquid film swirl angle was obtained and the liquid-film velocity distribution correlation established. A semi-empirical formula for wall friction and gas-liquid interfacial factors, represented by the liquid film swirl angle, were obtained. The criterion for flow-pattern transition was established and a generalized correlation formula for flow-pattern transition between annular and churn flows was proposed. The results provided new insights for further understanding of USLF and flow-pattern transition.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
