Measurement of Liquid Concentration Fields Near Interface with Cocurrent Gas-Liquid Flow Absorption Using Holographic Interferometry

Real-time laser holographic interferometry was applied to measure liquid concentrations of CO2 in the vicinity of gas-liquid free interface under the conditions of cocurrent gas-liquid flow for absorption of CO2 by ethanol. The influences of the Reynolds number on the measurable interface concentration and on the film thickness were discussed. The results show that CO2 concentration decreases exponentially along the mass transfer direction,and the concentration gradient increases as Reynolds number of either liquid or gas increases. CO2 concentrations fluctuate slightly along the direction of flow; on the whole, there is an increase in CO2 concentration. The investigation also demonstrated that film thickness decreases with the increase of Reynolds number of either of the two phases. Sherwood number representing the mass transfer coefficient was finally correlated as a function of the hydrodynamic parameters and the physical properties.

双效并流立体旋液式塔板压降的实验研究

采用全新工艺流程,设计了一种新型双效气液并流吸收塔,塔内安装有改进型立体旋液式塔板。分别以空气、空气-水作为研究体系进行实验,考察了不同操作参数与塔板结构参数下双效气液并流吸收塔的干塔压降、湿塔压降以及立体旋液式塔板的干板压降、湿板压降,明确了双效气液并流吸收塔的操作参数范围。实验结果表明:立体旋液式塔板单板干板压降及湿板压降分别控制在70 Pa,180 Pa以内。在一效、二效各逆向安装3块塔板,全塔共完全安装6块塔板时,全塔压降最大,但是干塔压降及湿塔压降可分别控制在2 400 Pa,2 800 Pa以内,双效气液并流吸收塔与立体旋液式式塔板的组合在能耗及操作弹性方面优势明显。

基于浓度/速度场测量的吸收过程液相传质系数

针对矩形流道内气、液流体的并流吸收传质过程,分别应用实时激光全息干涉术和激光多普勒速度仪对不同气、液流速下液相内近界面浓度分布与速度分布进行了实验观测.结果表明,边界层内浓度分布呈指数下降,流速越大梯度越陡,且速度边界层厚度要大于浓度边界层厚度.建立了通过物料衡算求算液相传质系数的方法.得到了不同条件下平均液相传质系数,并与Whiteman’s双膜理论的计算结果进行了比较.

气液并流吸收近界面浓度分布不稳定性实时观测

气液自由界面附近的瞬时浓度分布信息对于理解相际传质动力学很重要。利用激光全息干涉测量系统分别对乙醇、甲醇并流吸收CO2过程中液相内近界面的摩尔分数分布进行了实时观测。研究表明,水平槽道内气液流动传质过程中液相内的不稳定性现象是普遍存在的。它主要包括界面湍动和周期性脉冲爆发2种形式。当传质达到稳态时近界面CO2摩尔分数的分布结果表明,流场内存在着微弱的摩尔分数波动。吸收体系的性质和流速直接影响传质推动力的大小,从而决定摩尔分数波动的强度及深度。
