A new technique for the measurement of drop concentration in annular gas/liquid flow is presented. This is based on scattering of light by the drops. From the measured concentration, entrained liquid flow rate and thence the entrained fraction can be determined. The technique has been employed to obtain new data for vertical upward annular flow in a 0.038 m diameter pipe. The results have been compared with data from different pipe diameters and with the predictions of an annular flow model. [S0098-2202(00)02201-X]

The theory of liquid-coupled indirect heat exchanger systems has been studied to ascertain optimum criteria with respect to the coupling-liquid flow rate and the distribution of total heat transfer area between the hot-side and cold-side exchanger units in the case of counterflow arrangement. The optimum coupling-liquid capacity rate is derived and given as a function of the over-all capacity rate ratio and the Ntu ratio between the two exchanger units. For this optimum liquid capacity rate together with the proposed over-all number of transfer units, it is shown that the over-all heat transfer effectiveness of the liquid-coupled system can be expressed in the ordinary form for individual exchanger units in true counterflow.

AbstractA modified rotating packed contactor was designed and evaluated for the mass transfer of ozone and the ozonation efficiency of 2-chlorophenol under various operational conditions. The rotating packed contactor was composed of an immobilized disc and a rotating packed disc. Both the overall ozone transfer coefficient and decomposition rate of 2-chlorophenol by ozonation process in the modified rotating packed bed were enhanced with increasing rotor speed or decreasing gas/liquid flow rate ratio. The decomposition rate of 2-chlorophenol was accelerated by increasing H

Abstract Gas kick is a well control problem and is defined as the sudden influx of formation gas into the wellbore. This sudden influx, if not controlled, may lead to a blowout problem. An accidental spark during a blowout can lead to a catastrophic oil or gas fire. This makes early gas kick detection crucial to minimize the possibility of a blowout. The conventional kick detection methods such as the pit gain and flow rate method have very low sensitivity and are time-consuming. Therefore, it is required to identify an alternative kick detection method that could provide real-time readings with higher sensitivity. In this study, Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) and dynamic pressure techniques have been used to investigate the impact of various operating parameters on gas volume fraction and pressure fluctuation for early kick detection. The experiments were conducted on a horizontal flow loop of 6.16 m with an annular diameter ratio of 1.8 for Newtonian fluid (Water) with varying pipe inclination angle (0–10°) and annulus eccentricity (0–30%), liquid flow rate (165–265 kg/min), and air input pressure (1–2 bar). The results showed that ERT is a promising tool for the measurement of in-situ gas volume fraction. It was observed that the liquid flow rate, air input pressure and inclination has a much bigger impact on gas volume fraction whereas eccentricity does not have a significant influence. An increase in the liquid flow rate and eccentricity by 60% and 30% decreased the gas volume fraction by an average of 32.8% and 5.9% respectively, whereas an increase in the inclination by 8° increased the gas volume fraction by an average 42%. Moreover, it was observed that the wavelet analysis of the pressure fluctuations has good efficacy for real-time kick detection. Therefore, this study will help provide a better understanding of the gas-liquid flow and potentially provide an alternative method for early kick detection.

This work uses a continuous bubble-column scrubber for the absorption of CO2 with a 5M MEA solution under a constant pH environment to explore the effect of the pH of the solution and gas-flow rate (Qg) on the removal efficiency (E), absorption rate (RA), overall mass-transfer coefficient (KGa), liquid flow rate (QL), gas-liquid flow ratio (γ), and scrubbing factors (φ). From the outlet CO2 concentration with a two-film model, E, RA, KGa, QL, γ, and φ can be simultaneously determined at the steady state. Depending on the operating conditions, the results show that E (80-97%), RA(2.91x10-4-10.0x10-4mol/s-L), KGa (0.09-0.48 1/s), QL(8.74-230.8mL/min), γ (0.19-5.39), and φ (0.031-0.74 mol/mol-L) are found to be comparable with other solvents. In addition, RA, KGa, E, and QL have been used to correlate with pH and Qg, respectively, with the results further explained.
