The pressure drop for two-phase liquid-liquid flow is theoretically
predicted for each flow regime. Empirical correlations, which
are applicable in all flow regimes, are also presented for holdup as
well as pressure drop.
The experimental study covered bubble and drop flow regimes.
The discontinuous phase was injected by nozzle into...
The fouling characteristics of cooling tower water
containing various corrosion inhibitors and other additives
on heat transfer surface have been investigated. Corrosion
inhibitors investigated included zinc-chromate and
phosphates. In addition, additives including polyacrylate
and phosphonate (HEDP and AMP) were used to determine their
effectiveness as antifoulants.
The tests were conducted...
Heat transfer to moving packed beds of solids has been studied
extensively but predictions are usually specific to the experimenter's
own equipment. In order to obtain a more general predictive equation,
the heat transfer coefficient was measured for a single vertical tube
immersed in a moving packed bed of glass...
Various antifoulant treatment programs and the
considerations necessary for the effective use of such
programs were examined.
Two different groups of tests, with and without
iron contamination, have been carried out on the
effectiveness of several of the state-of-the-art
copolymers (PA, HEDP, AA/HPA, AA/MA, SS/MA and AA/SA) in
the inhibition...
A study of nucleate boiling of water, four alcohols and
three ethanol-water mixtures was conducted in a vertical
thermosiphon reboiler. The test section consisted of a 1/2-
inch diameter electrically heated stainless-steel rod
jacketed by a 15-inch long pyrex glass tube. Two different
inside diameters of the glass tube corresponding...
Various conditions of heat flux in the range of 46600 to 93300 Btu/hr ft² and water velocity in the range of 1.44 to 2.16 ft/sec were tested under carefully controlled conditions to determine their effect on scale formation, and the characteristics of scale. Inlet temperature and bulk temperature were maintained...
