非牛顿流体中的两并行运动气泡周围流场及气泡间相互作用的PIV研究

The flow fields surrounding two parallel moving bubbles rising from two identical orifices submerged in non-Newtonian fluid of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solution of three different mass concentration were measured experimentally by the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV). The influences of gas flowrate, solution mass concentration, orifice interval and the angle between two bubble centers line and vertical direction on the flow field surrounding bubbles were discussed respectively by analyzing the velocity vector, velocity contours as well as individual velocity components. The results show that the liquid velocity both in front of two bubbles and behind increases with gas flowrate duo to shear-thinning effect of previous bubbles, whereas decreases with the increase of CMC concentration due to the increase of drag force acting on bubbles. The effect of the orifice interval on the flow field around two moving bubbles becomes gradually obvious as the interval becomes closer. Moreover, two adjacent side-by-side bubbles repulse each other during rising, leading to the practical interval between them increased somewhat above the orifice interval. When the distance between bubbles is less than the orifice interval l0 mm, the interaction between two neighboring bubbles changed from mutual repellence to attraction with the decrease of the angle of the line of linking two bubble centers to the vertical direction.     

拟塑性流体中伴有聚并的气泡上升混沌特征(英文)

The chaotic characteristics of bubbles rising with accompanying coalescences in pseudoplastic aqueous carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC) solution were studied by means of smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution and Wigner-Hough distribution. The temporal signal of bubble passage was measured utilizing a photoconductive data acquisition system. As bubble coalescence occurred, the smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution of the signal revealed that the signal could be divided into low-frequency and high-frequency ranges and the transition range according to the distribution feature of frequency domain, which reflected eddy motion of fluid, high frequency fluctuations of fluid velocity and other random components measured in the signal, and bubbles rising accompanied with coalescences, respectively. However, bubble coalescence occurred in the lower position and the frequency range of bubbles motion became wide under higher gas flowrate, while the frequency range of bubbles motion became narrow when the CMC concentration increased. The typical dynamics of bubbles motion, such as periodicity, bifurcation and chaos, could be easily found in terms of the Wigner-Hough distribution.     

气液错流条件下孔口气泡直径的模型预测(英文)

The size of initial bubbles is an important factor to the developed bubble size distribution in a gas-liquid contactor. A liquid cross-flow over a sparger can produce smaller bubbles, and hereby enhance the performance of contactor. A one stage model by balancing the forces acting on a growing bubble was developed to describe the formation of the bubble from an orifice exposed to liquid cross-flow. The prediction with this model agrees with the experimental data available in the literatures, and show that orifice size strongly affects the bubble size. It is showed that the shear-lift force, inertia force, surface tension force and buoyancy force are major forces, and a simplified mathematical model was developed, and the detachment bubble diameter can be predicted with accuracy of ±21%.     

Effects of Orifice Orientation and Gas-Liquid Flow Pattern on Initial Bubble Size

In many gasliquid processes, the initial bubble size is determined by a series of operation parameters along with the sparger design and gasliquid flow pattern. Bubble formation models for variant gasliquid flow pat terns have been developed based on force balance. The effects of the orientation of gasliquid flow, gas velocity, liquid velocity and orifice diameter on the initial bubble size have been clarified. In ambient airwater system, thesultable gasllquid flow pattern is important to obtain smaller bubbles under the low velocity liquid crossflow con ditions with stainless steel spargers. Among the four types of gasliquid flow patterns discussed, the horizontal orifice in a vertically upward liquid flow produces the smallest initial bubbles. However the orientation effects of gas and liquid flow are found tobe insgnifican whenliq.uid velocity is.higher than. 3.2 m;sa or theorifice diameter is small enough.     

非牛顿流体中气泡上升及聚并过程中液相侧浓度场的数值模拟(英文)

On the basis of Navier-Stockes equation and convection-diffusion equation, combined with surface ten-sion and penetration models, the equations of moment and mass transfer between bubble and the ambient non-Newtonian liquid were established. The formation of a single bubble from a submersed nozzle of 1.0 mm di-ameter and the mass transfer from an artificially fixed bubble into the ambient liquid were simulated by the volume- of-fluid (VOF) method. Good agreement between simulation results and experimental data confirmed the validity of the numerical method. Furthermore, the concentration distribution around rising bubbles in shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid was simulated. When the process of a single ellipsoidal bubble with the bubble deformation rate below 2.0 rises, the concentration distribution is a single-tail in the bubble’s wake, but it is fractal when the bubble deformation rate is greater than 2.0. For the overtaking of two in-line rising bubbles, the concentration dis-tribution area between two bubbles broadens gradually and then coalescence occurs. The bifurcation of concentra-tion distribution appears in the rear of the resultant bubble.     

支流电场中的单气泡行为

The investigation on bubble behavior in electric field helps to analyze the mechanism of electric enhancement of boiling heat transfer. Experiments were performed to investigate the bubble deformation in direct current （DC） electric field with bubbles attached to the orifice. The air bubbles were slowly generated in the transformer oil pool at different orifices, so that the effect of flow on bubble shape was eliminated. The results showed that the bubbles were elongated and the departure volume decreased when the electric field was intensified. The major and minor axes, aspect ratio and departure volume increased with increasing the orifice diameter. Both the electric field and orifice size have great influence on bubble behavior. The bubble deformation was also simulated to compare with the experimental results. The numerical and experimental data qualitatively agree with each other.     

EFFECTS OF TURBULENT SHEAR STRESS ON THE GROWTH OF SUSPENDED PLANT CELLS IN A BUBBLE COLUMN REACTOR

In this paper,effects of increasing the height of column,bubble size and gas flow rate onthe growth of suspended Catharanthus roseus plant cells in a 1.5 litre bubble column were studied.Statistical characteristics of turbulence such as auto-correlation function,and auto-power spectral den-sity function of the nuctuating liquid velocity were measured in a bubble column employing pseudo-cell-granulated agar.Calculations of turbulent shear stress were carried out.From these studies it is sug-gested that in plant cell suspension culture sparged with large bubbles.turbulent shear stress is prob-ably one of the most important reasons for the inhibited cell growth and cell damage.Larger bubblesor higher gas flow rates lead to the increase in shear stress and are more detrimental to plant cells.     

BUBBLE FORMATION FREQUENCY STUDY IN A SINGLE-JET GAS-SOLID FLUIDIZED BED

Bubble formation frequencies in a single orifice two-dimensional gas-solid fluidized bed(292mm×16 mm)were measured by means of a high-sensitivity capacitance probe.A spectrum analyzer was used toanalyze the bubble frequency distribution.The effects of a series of parameters,including particle size(0.105—0.590 mm),particle density (590-2990 kg/m~3),minimum fluidization velocity of particles(0.0072-0.481 m/s),initial bed height (205-565 mm),probe vertical location,jet gas flow rate(0.5-35×10~(-4)m~3s)and background fluidizing gas velocity (0-3 times of minimum fluidization velocity),on the bubble frequencypower spectrum density were investigated.For the fluidized bed with small particles of low density,the bubble formation frequency was in goodagreement with Davidson and Harrison model.The data showed a regular deviation from that model asparticle size and density increased.The model is then modified to account for the fact that with largeparticles,gas will leak from the forming bubble into the surrounding emulsion phase.The modifed leakagemodel agrees with the experimental results.     

Analysis of deformation and internal flow patterns for rising single bubbles in different liquids

Gas–liquid multiphase flow is a significant phenomenon in chemical processes. The rising behaviors of single bubbles in the quiescent liquids have been investigated but the internal flow patterns and deformation rules of bubbles, which influence the mass transfer efficiency to a large extent, have received much less attention. In this paper, the volume of fluid method was used to calculate the bubble shapes, pressure, velocity distributions,and the flow patterns inside the bubbles. The rising behavior of the bubbles with four different initial diameters,i.e., 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm and 9 mm was investigated in four various liquids including water, 61.23% glycerol,86.73% glycerol and 100% glycerol. The results show that the liquid properties and bubble initial diameters have great impacts on bubble shapes. Moreover, flow patterns inside the bubbles with different initial diameters were analyzed and classified into three types under the condition of different bubble shapes. Three correlations for predicting the maximum internal circulation inside the bubbles in 86.73% glycerol were presented and the R-square values were all bigger than 0.98. Through analyzing the pressure and velocity distributions around the bubbles, four rules of bubble deformation were also obtained to explain and predict the shapes.     

Absorption of Low Concentration Sulfur Dioxide Using Liquid-containing Microporous Membrane

The absorption of low concentration SO2 in flue gas by using the module of liquid-containing microporous membrane which is made up of hollow fiber and citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution was investigated. The absorption efficiency of hydrophilic and hydrophobic membranes by using the concept of dynamic contact angle was mainly studied. The influences on absorption efficiency from absorption time, flowrate of gas phase, SO2 concentration of gas phase, air pressure, citrate concentration, pH value of solution as well as the generation of sulfate radical in absorption solution were examined. The results indicate that the hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane is better than hydrophilic membrane, the absorption efficiency decreases with increasing absorption time, gas phase flowrate, gas phase SO2 concentration and air pressure, the absorption rate and capacity of SO2 can be improved by increasing the citrate concentration, the absorption efficiency can be improved by increasing the pH value of citrate solution, the concentration of SO42- in absorption solution increases linearly with the absorption time at a rate around 0.192 g/(L×h).

Modelling the bubble formation dynamics in non-Newtonian fluids

A theoretical model is developed for modelling the non-spherical bubble formation at an orifice submerged in non-Newtonian fluids under constant flowrate conditions. The equations of motion are, respectively, the radial expansion and vertical ascension of the bubble interface. They are combined with the thermodynamic equations for the gas in the bubble and the chamber below the orifice as well as the fluid rheological equation. In particular, the influence of in-line interactions between bubbles due to the fluid memory effects of the viscoelastic characteristics is taken into account for the first time. The present model is able to compute the instantaneous growing shape of the bubble during its formation and determine the final size of detachment as well as the frequency of bubble formation. The values predicted by this model compare satisfactorily with the experimental results obtained under different operating conditions.     

FORMATION AND FLOW OF GAS BUBBLES IN A PRESSURIZED BUBBLE COLUMN WITH A SINGLE ORIFICE OR NOZZLE GAS DISTRIBUTOR

The characteristics of gas bubbles in a 5 cm diameter bubble column equipped with a single orifice of 1,3 or 5 mm diameter were investigated under system pressure of 0.1-15 MPa. The formation of gas bubbles was strongly affected by the system pressure. Under high pressures a dispersed gas jet was formed at gas velocities where spherical gas bubbles would have been formed at atmospheric pressure. The critical gas velocity between the bubbling regime and the jetting regime was correlated with the liquid phase Weber number and the gas phase Reynolds number based on the gas velocity at the orifice. Bubble size and gas holdup in the main part of the bubble column were also affected by the bubble formation pattern at the distributor     

大孔径高气速单孔气泡形成

Effect of Orifice Submergence on Bubble Formation

The effect of orifice submergence on bubble formation was experimentally studied. Four orifices were used of a diameter equal to 0.115, 0.210, 0.325 and 0.435 cm. Air was used as the gas phase and water as the liquid phase. Experiments were conducted in the range of gas flow rates 0.75–56.7 cm³/s, chamber volumes 150–7000 cm³ and orifice submergence 10–150 cm. Results show that in the region of single bubble formation the bubble size increases with the orifice submergence. In the region of group formation of bubbles the individual bubble size is independent of the orifice submergence, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 cm³ for the smallest orifice and from 0.2 to 1 cm³ for the other ones. No effect of orifice submergence was observed on weeping.     

THE EFFECTS OF DISTRIBUTOR DESIGN ON FLUIDIZED-BED HYDRODYNAMIC BEHAVIOR

should be addressed. The distributor was investigated for the purpose of design and scale up of large fluidized-bed combustors. Four orifice plates with different configurations were used to study the effect of distributor design on bubble formation and solid mixing. Experiments were carried out on a three-dimensional fluidized bed of 27.94 cm diameter and a two-dimensional bed with dimensions of 30.48cm ×1.27 cm. Motion pictures were used to study bubble formation and coalescence. Pressure profiles inside the three-dimensional bed were measured for several distributors to study bubble flow patterns, and tracer particles were used to study mixing patterns at various superficial velocities and particle sizes. The results show that the distributor plate with two-size orifices causes a non-uniform gas bubble flow inside the bed. This non-uniform gas bubble flow is associated with variations in local bed density and local voidage. Horizontal or radial solid circulation is also caused by this non-uniform gas bubble flow. The local bed density and voidage variations and the radial solid circulation cause the bubbles to move toward the area above the smaller orifices as the bubbles rise up and coalesce. This reduces the wall effect, and the bed is very uniformly fluidized when the two-size orifice plate with small holes in the center is employed.
