Expression have been derived in the paper for all four possible transfer functions between the inlet and the outlet gas and liquid steams under the counter-current absorption of a poorly soluble gas in a packed bed column. The transfer functions have been derived for the axially dispersed model with stagnant zone in the liquid phase and the axially dispersed model for the gas phase with interfacial transport of a gaseous component (PDE - AD). calculations with practical values of parameters suggest that only two of these transfer functions are applicable for experimental data evaluation.

Expressions have been derived for four possible transfer functions of a model of physical absorption of a poorly soluble gas in a packed bed column. The model has been based on axially dispersed flow of gas, plug flow of liquid through stagnant and dynamic regions and interfacial transport of the absorbed component. The obtained transfer functions have been transformed into the frequency domain and their amplitude ratios and phase lags have been evaluated using the complex arithmetic feature of the EC-1033 computer. Two of the derived transfer functions have been found directly applicable for processing of experimental data. Of the remaining two one is useable with the limitations to absorption on a shallow layer of packing, the other is entirely worthless for the case of poorly soluble gases.

An experimental method and technique are described in the paper of simultaneous detection of the transfer functions outlet-gas-stream-to-inlet-gas-stream and outlet-liquid-stream-to-inlet-gas-stream for the absorption of oxygen into water in a counter-current packed bed column. Both transfer functions were simultaneously monitored by means of three oxygen electrodes operating on the polarographic principle. The signals of these electrodes were processed in three steps to yield parameters of the model of physical absorption of gas. The first step was on-line evaluation of the Fourier coefficients of the principal harmonic component in all three monitored streams. The second step was the calculation of the frequency characteristics of both transfer functions while the third step yielded parameters of the model by optimization in the frequency domain. The method permits simultaneous evaluation of the parameters of the flow of both phases in the column and the interfacial transfer of oxygen.

Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.

A model for the prediction of the distribution of soot concentration in spray combustors is presented. Both gas-phase and liquid-phase soot formation have been considered. The methods have been developed within the constraints on detailed combustion modelling for practical application. Some predictions are assessed by comparison with published experimental data. It is concluded that predictions of the same quality as those of gaseous-fuelled combustors may be obtained neglecting liquid-phase soot formation in case of light fuels.

Within the objectives of predicting the composition and properties of the produced fluid during the development of oil and gas condensate fields, this article proposes an experimental method for predicting the composition and properties of the produced fluid. In addition, the authors show its practical use in a situation where the liquid phase (precipitated condensate or oil) is filtered together with the gas phase. Based on the proposed approach, experimental data were obtained on changes in the current gas saturation of the formation, as well as on changes in the composition and properties of the produced fluid during field development for depletion. The studies make use of the real reservoir fluid samples and the data from the results of stream experiments, in order to determine the relative phase permeabilities.

Frequency responses have been derived for four mathematical models of the trickle flow in a packed bed column. The models contain gradually one to four parameters. Asymptotic expressions have been also obtained for the frequency responses under large values of the Peclet number. A possibility has been tested of using the complex arithmetic feature of a computer to evaluate numerically the model responses and to separate the real and the imaginary part of the response. Analysis has shown that all four models can be discriminated and their parameters are observable in the complex plane. This approach thus appears plausible for processing real experimental data as well as for the discrimination between various models.

Whenever possible, neutralization of alkaline wastewater should involve low-cost acid. It is conventional to make use of carbonic acid produced via the reaction of carbon dioxide (contained in flue gases) with water according to the following equation: Carbon dioxide content in the flue gas stream varies from 10% to 15%. The flue gas stream may either be passed to the wastewater contained in the recarbonizers, or. enter the scrubbers (which are continually sprayed with wastewater) from the bottom in oountercurrent. The reactors, in which recarbonation occurs, have the ability to expand the contact surface between gaseous and liquid phase. This can be achieved by gas phase dispersion in the liquid phase (bubbling), by liquid phase dispersion in the gas phase (spraying), or by bubbling and spraying, and mixing. These concurrent operations are carried out during motion of the disk aerator (which is a patent claim). The authors describe the functioning of the disk aerator, the composition of the wastewater produced during wet gasification of carbide, the chemistry of recarbonation and decarbonation, and the concept of applying the disk aerator so as to make the wastewater fit for reuse (after suitable neutralization) as feeding water in acetylene generators.
