PhD
thesis
- An
experimental investigation of liquid droplets impinging
vertically on a deep liquid pool
A short descriptionFor understanding droplet
phenomena in LNG heat exchangers, a compact reactor was
designed, constructed and operated for carrying out an experimental
investigation for studying micro-level droplets (0.1-0.7
mm) impacting on a deep pool with a velocity range 0.1-10
m/s. Experimental fluids: water, n-pentane,
methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol with different physical
properties were examined and characterized. The flow
regime characterization gave detailed information for improving the efficiency in processes
such as phase separation, spray cooling and coating,
combustion etc.
