EFFECT OF PIPE INCLINATION ANGLE ON GAS–LIQUID FLOW USING ELECTRICAL CAPACITANCE TOMOGRAPHY (ECT) DATA
Abstract:
Gas-liquid flows are widely encountered in various industrial processes, including chemical processing, oil and gas production, and multiphase transportation systems. Understanding the behavior of gas-liquid flows is crucial for optimizing process efficiency and ensuring safe operation. In this study, we investigate the effect of pipe inclination angle on gas-liquid flow using Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) data.
ECT is a non-invasive imaging technique that utilizes the variation of electrical capacitance between electrodes to reconstruct the cross-sectional distribution of the flow parameters. It provides real-time, high-resolution images of the flow patterns, facilitating the analysis of multiphase flow dynamics. By employing ECT, we aim to assess the impact of pipe inclination angle on gas-liquid flow characteristics, including phase distribution, interfacial area, and flow regime transitions.
The experimental setup consists of a transparent test section with an inclined pipe, where gas and liquid phases are co-currently introduced. ECT sensors are strategically placed around the pipe circumference to capture the spatial capacitance measurements. The acquired data is processed using advanced algorithms to reconstruct the two-phase flow patterns and extract relevant flow parameters.
The investigation focuses on systematically varying the pipe inclination angle and monitoring the corresponding changes in the flow behavior. The obtained ECT data allows for the quantification of phase holdup, bubble size distribution, and liquid film thickness along the inclined pipe. The analysis provides insights into the influence of inclination angle on the flow regime transitions, such as slug flow, annular flow, and stratified flow.
The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of gas-liquid flow dynamics in inclined pipes and can be utilized for process optimization and equipment design. The findings highlight the significance of considering the pipe inclination angle when designing multiphase flow systems, as it significantly affects the flow regime transitions and associated flow characteristics.
