Effect of drops on turbulence of kerosene-water two-phase flow in vertical pipe
The effect of introducing kerosene drops on turbulence of kerosene-water two-phase in a vertical pipe is investigated experimentally. A hot-film and dual optical probes are used to measure the water velocity, turbulence fluctuation, drop relative velocity, volume fraction and drop diameter. Experime...

The effect of introducing kerosene drops on turbulence of kerosene-water two-phase in a vertical pipe is investigated experimentally. A hot-film and dual optical probes are used to measure the water velocity, turbulence fluctuation, drop relative velocity, volume fraction and drop diameter. Experiments are performed in a 78.8 mm diameter vertical pipe for four average water velocities of 0.11, 0.29, 0.44 and 0.77 m/s. The measurements were carried out for two area average volume fraction A of 4.6% and 9.2% as well as for water single phase flow to investigate the effect of introducing kerosene drops on two-phase flow turbulence. The kerosene-water mixture was generated by adding the kerosene to constant flow rates of water. The results indicate that drops induced turbulence is a function of the ratio of the drop Reynolds number (U(r)d(B)/v) to the turbulence Reynolds number (u'L-t/v) which decreased with higher water velocities. The results show that the Kolmogorov-Richardson scaling in the range of -4.5/3 to -6/3 for single phase flow which is replaced by -6/3 to -7/3 for two-phase flow. These values are less than -8/3 for air-water flow. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
