The Impact

Considerable number of studies and publications is devoted to issues of dynamic behavior of liquids, the impact on the surface tension of a liquid in partially filled tanks in particular. The study of liquid vibrations in partially fluid-filled cylindrical containers with the presence of a free surface is an important technical task. The influence of the free surface curvature of the tank filler on the oscillation frequency is taken into account. It is assumed that the liquid is incompressible and inviscid, and its motion is irrotational. The method to solve a boundary value problem for determining fluid oscillations in a reservoir has been developed, and an integral presentation of an unknown velocity potential is proposed. The geometrical characteristics of the free liquid surface have been determined. It is taken into account that the free liquid surface deviates from the equilibrium position and assumes a spherical shape. A system of singular integral equations has been obtained for unknown values of the potential and flow. The method of boundary elements with constant approximation of an unknown density on the elements has been used to solve the system numerically. The oscillation frequencies for the zero harmonic are determined in accordance with the level of the free-surface elevation. It has been determined that the deviation of the free surface shape from the flat and even a slight rise in the free surface level leads to noticeable changes in the vibration frequencies. The vibrational modes obtained in the study mostly coincide with the modes for a flat free surface and can serve as the basic system of functions in the studies of free and forced fluid vibrations in tanks, as well as, in the study of the intrinsic and forced sloshing in the reservoirs provided surface tension is taken into account.

The direct correlation function between two points in the gas-liquid surface of the penetrable sphere model is obtained in a mean-field approximation. This function is used to show explicitly that three apparently different ways of calculating the surface tension all lead to the same result. They are (1) from the virial of the intermolecular potential, (2) from the direct correlation function, and (3) from the energy density. The equality of (1) and (2) is shown analytically at all temperatures 0 < T < T c where T c is the critical temperature; the equality of (2) and (3) is shown analytically for T ≈ T c , and by numerical integration at lower temperatures. The equality of (2) and (3) is shown analytically at all temperatures for a one-dimensional potential.

Pulsing Flow

The most of past studies in foaming trickle bed reactors aimed at the improvement of efficiency and operational parameters leads to high economic advantages. Conventionally most of the industries rely on frequently used gas continuous flow (GCF) where operational output is satisfactory but not yields efficiently as in pulsing flow (PF) and foaming pulsing flow (FPF). Hydrodynamic characteristics like regime transitions are significantly influenced by foaming nature of liquid as well as gas and liquid flow rates. This study?s aim was to demonstrate experimentally the effects of liquid flow rate, gas flow rates and liquid surface tension on regime transition. These parameters were analyzed for the air-aqueous Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and air-water systems. More than 240 experiments were done to obtain the transition boundary for trickle flow (GCF) to foaming pulsing flow (PF/FPF) by use excessive foaming 15-60 ppm surfactant compositions. The trickle to pulse flow transition appeared at lower gas and liquid flow rates with decrease in liquid surface tension. All experimental data had been collected and drawn in the form of four different transitional plots which are compared and drawn by using flow coordinates proposed by different researchers. A prominent decrease in dynamic liquid saturation was observed especially during regime transitional change. The reactor two phase pressure evident a sharp rise to verify the regime transition shift from GCF to PF/FPF. Present study reveals, the regime transition boundary significantly influenced by any change in hydrodynamic as well as physiochemical properties including surface tension.
