It was found that fuel distribution in a hot high-speed transverse air stream differed greatly from that in a cold stream. In a hot air stream there exist two-phase fuel distributions, and hence, two mass center lines extending downstream. Experimental results of fuel distributions are presented. By using the model of trajectory with diffusion and also considering the fuel evaporation, a semi-empirical method to predict two-phase fuel distributions has been developed.

Bubble cap structures are researched for the particle erosion wear of the distribution plate (tray for short) in an S Zorb desulfurization reactor. The semi-empirical model of erosion wear prediction of gas–solid two-phase flow is revised by means of erosion wear experiments at high temperature and high speed. According to the revised erosion wear, the influence of the h0 (the distance from the bottom of the bubble cap to the tray), h1 (distance from the outlet of the lifting pipe to the top of the bubble cap interface), N (the number of cavities), d0 (the inner diameter of bubble cap) on erosion wear of trays are studied. The results show that a smaller h0 will make the erosion degree of the tray more serious; it is recommended to keep h0 = 17 mm. A larger h1 will alleviate the erosion wear degree of adsorbent particles on the tray, but considering the efficiency of the reaction, h1 = 36 mm is more appropriate. The increase of N reduces the erosion wear less but enhances the fluid disturbance and makes the erosion wear area unstable; so, N should be kept at 10. The increase of d0 reduces the velocity and density of fluid impacting the tray, thus reducing the erosion wear degree, which is an effective means.

Two-phase flow exists in many shell-and-tube heat exchangers such as condensers, evaporators, and nuclear steam generators. Some knowledge on tube damping mechanisms is required to avoid flow-induced vibration problems. This paper outlines the development of a semi-empirical model to formulate damping of heat exchanger tube bundles in two-phase cross flow. The formulation is based on information available in the literature and on the results of recently completed experiments. The compilation of a database and the formulation of a design guideline are outlined in this paper. The effects of several parameters such as flow velocity, void fraction, confinement, flow regime and fluid properties are discussed. These parameters are taken into consideration in the formulation of a practical design guideline.
