INVESTIGATING THE BEHAVIOUR OF AIR-SILICONE OIL FLOWS IN VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL PIPES FOR EFFECTIVE GAS-LIQUID TRANSPORT
Abstract:
Gas-liquid transport plays a vital role in various industries, including chemical engineering, petroleum, and energy sectors. Understanding the behavior of multiphase flows, especially air-liquid flows, is essential for optimizing transport processes and improving overall system efficiency. This study focuses on investigating the behavior of air-silicone oil flows in both vertical and horizontal pipes to enhance gas-liquid transport effectiveness.
The experimental investigation involves conducting flow visualization studies, pressure drop measurements, and velocity profile analysis for air-silicone oil flows in different pipe orientations. A test rig is designed and constructed to simulate the flow conditions encountered in practical applications. The silicone oil is chosen as the liquid phase due to its similarity in viscosity to many industrial liquid streams.
In the vertical pipe configuration, the effects of different flow regimes, including bubbly flow, slug flow, churn flow, and annular flow, are studied. Flow visualization techniques, such as high-speed imaging and particle tracking, are employed to visualize the flow patterns and track the motion of individual gas bubbles and liquid slugs. Pressure drop measurements are conducted to determine the pressure losses associated with each flow regime, aiding in the evaluation of system performance.
In the horizontal pipe configuration, the investigation focuses on the occurrence of stratified and wavy flow regimes. The objective is to understand the liquid distribution and behavior in the presence of gas flow. The velocity profiles are analyzed to determine the liquid holdup and liquid film thickness, which are critical parameters for efficient gas-liquid transport.
The findings from this study will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of air-silicone oil flows in vertical and horizontal pipes. The results will provide valuable insights into the flow behavior, pressure drop characteristics, and liquid distribution, enabling the development of more accurate models and design guidelines for gas-liquid transport systems. Ultimately, this research aims to optimize gas-liquid transport efficiency, leading to improved performance and cost-effectiveness in various industrial applications.
