气液鼓泡床内的液体流速分布

引言 鼓泡床是一种重要的气液或气液固多相反应器.液体循环流动是鼓泡床的一个重要流体力学特征,从20世纪50年代人们就开始对此进行了比较系统的实验研究[1-6].这个特征对鼓泡床的流体返混行为、气含率、气液界面积以及传热传质系数都有很大影响,特别是液体返混行为可以由液体循环特性直接决定.如何准确地描述和预测鼓泡床中的液体流速沿径向的分布,关系到鼓泡床反应器的设计、放大和优化.因此,许多年来它一直是人们致力探讨的重要课题之一[7-8].

静电效应对有无埋管气固鼓泡床内气泡特性的影响分析

采用基于双流体模型(TFM)耦合静电模型的方法,研究颗粒的静电对有无埋管气固鼓泡床内气固流动特性和气泡特性的影响。首先在无静电场存在的条件下,利用双流体模型对自由鼓泡床和埋管鼓泡床内的流动情况进行模拟并与实验结果进行对比;进一步耦合静电模型,考察静电对自由鼓泡床和埋管鼓泡床内床层的整体性质和气泡特性的影响。研究结果表明,在无静电场条件下采用双流体模型能较好地预测自由鼓泡床和埋管鼓泡床内的气固流动状况以及气泡的平均直径和气泡的上升速度。埋管的存在使鼓泡床内气固流动发生强烈扰动,并使气泡的平均直径和气泡的上升速度均呈振荡分布。静电的存在对自由鼓泡床和埋管鼓泡床内床层的平均固含率影响不大,但对气泡分布规律影响较大,使得自由鼓泡床内气泡数目减少,而埋管鼓泡床下部区域的气泡分布比较集中,上部有大气泡出现。

Experimental analysis and development of correlations for gas holdup in high pressure slurry co-current bubble columns

The effect of liquid and gas velocities, solid concentrations, and operating pressure has been studied experimentally in a 15 cm diameter air-water-glass beads bubble column. The superficial gas and liquid velocities varied from 1.0 to 40.00 cm/s and 0 to 16.04 cm/s, respectively, while the solid loading varied from 1 to 9%. The gas holdup in the column was reduced sharply as we switched from batch to co-current mode of operation. At low gas velocity, the effect of liquid velocity was insignificant; while at high gas velocity, increasing liquid velocity decreased the gas holdup. Drift flux approach was applied to quantify the combined effect of liquid and gas velocities over gas holdup. For co-current three phase flows, the gas holdup decreased with increase in solid loading for all pressures. But for batch operations, when solid loading was 5% or more, settling started leading to higher gas holdup. Increasing pressure from atmospheric conditions increased the gas holdup significantly, flattening asymptotically.     

Bubble Behavior of a Large‐Scale Bubble Column with Elevated Pressure

Gas holdups and the rising velocity of large and small bubbles are measured using the dynamic gas disengagement approach in a pressured bubble column of 0.3 m in diameter and 6.6 m in height. The effects of superficial gas velocity, liquid surface tension, liquid viscosity, and system pressure on the gas holdups and the rising velocity of small and large bubbles are investigated. The holdup of large bubbles and the rising velocity of small bubbles increase with increasing liquid viscosity and liquid surface tension. Meanwhile, the holdup of small bubbles and the rising velocity of a swarm of large bubbles decrease. Moreover, the holdup of large bubbles and the rising velocity of a swarm of small bubbles decrease with increasing system pressure. A correlation for the holdup of small bubbles is obtained from experimental data.

Experimental determination of gas holdup and volumetric mass transfer coefficient in a jet bubbling reactor

The hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics of a lab-scale jet bubbling reactor(JBR) including the gas holdup, volumetric mass transfer coefficient and specific interfacial area were assessed experimentally investigating the influence of temperature, p H and superficial gas velocity. The reactor diameter and height were 11 and 30 cm,respectively. It was equipped with a single sparger, operating at atmospheric pressure, 20 and 40℃, and two p H values of 3 and 6. The height of the liquid was 23 cm, while the superficial gas velocity changed within 0.010–0.040 m·s~(-1) range. Experiments were conducted with pure oxygen as the gas phase and saturated lime solution as the liquid phase. The liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient was determined under unsteady-state oxygen absorption in a saturated lime solution. The gas holdup was calculated based on the liquid height change, while the specific interfacial area was obtained by a physical method based on the bubble size distribution(BSD) in different superficial gas velocities. The results indicated that at the same temperature but different p H, the gas holdup variation was negligible, while the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient at the p H value of 6 was higher than that at the p H = 3. At a constant p H but different temperatures, the gas holdup and the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficients at 40℃ were higher than that of the same at 20℃. A reasonable and appropriate estimation of the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient(kla) in a pilot-scale JBR was provided which can be applied to the design and scale-up of JBRs.     

Hydrodynamics and flow regime transition study of trickle bed reactor at elevated temperature and pressure

The hydrodynamics in a trickle bed reactor (TBR) in non-ambient conditions are studied for air-water and air-acetone (pure organic liquid of low surface tension) systems. A flow map experiments for air-water and air-acetone systems are performed in a pilot plant reactor of 0.05 m i.d. and 1.25 m height. It has been demonstrated from the experimental results that the pressure drop tends to increase with increasing superficial gas and liquid velocity and reactor pressure, while it tends to decrease with increasing bed temperature. The results also show that the dynamic liquid holdup increases with increasing liquid velocity and decreases with increasing superficial gas velocity, reactor pressure and bed temperature. The dynamic liquid holdup and pressure drop values are obviously higher than those measured for air-water system at the same fluid fluxes, reactor pressure and bed temperature due to the surface tension effects. For higher reactor pressure and temperature, the trickle to pulse transition boundary shifts towered higher superficial velocities of both gas and liquid.     

强制液体外循环气升式内环流反应器的流体力学特性

Flow behavior of wakes in a three-phase slurry bubble column with viscous liquid medium

Flow behavior of wakes has been investigated in a three-phase slurry bubble column of 0.102 m ID and 1.5 m in height. The dependence of wake characteristics such as rising velocity, frequency, holdup and equivalent size on the operating variables was examined by employing an electric resistivity probe method. The gas velocity, liquid viscosity and solid content in the slurry phase were chosen as independent parameters. The rising velocity of wake region increased with an increase in the gas velocity (4.0–12.0 cm/s), liquid viscosity (1.0–50.0 mPa·s) or solid content (0–25 wt%) in the slurry phase. The frequency and holdup of wake phase increased with increasing gas velocity, but decreased with increasing liquid viscosity or solid content in the slurry phase. The equivalent size of wake phase increased with increasing gas velocity, liquid viscosity or solid content in the slurry phase. The wake properties and holdup were well correlated with operation variables within these experimental conditions.
