Suspension quality depends upon complex interactions of impeller generated flow, turbulence, and solid loading. Most of the earlier work on solid suspension focuses Oil identifying critical impeller speed for just suspension of solids (N(js)). In this study, apart from N(js) aspects like cloud height and liquid phase mixing in solid-liquid suspensions were also studied A new way of characterizing solid-liquid suspensions and liquid phase mixing using nonintrusive wall pressure fluctuation measurements has been developed.

Suspension quality is a key issue in design and operation of stirred reactor and its determination is not straight forward. Cloud height measurements of solid suspension provide a relatively simple way to quantify quality of suspension. In this work, experiments were carried out to quantify variation of cloud heights with impeller speed and particle characteristics. These measurements were carried out using visual observations, image analysis, and ultrasound velocity profiler techniques. The obtained data demonstrated the existence of hysteresis in cloud heights with respect to impeller speed. Apart from possible applications in reducing power required for achieving desired solid suspension quality, the existence of hysteresis also provides a new way to evaluate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of solid liquid flows in stirred vessels. An attempt was made to capture observed hysteresis in cloud heights in CFD simulations. The simulated results were compared with the experimental data. The presented models and results (experimental and computational) will he useful for simulating complex solid liquid flows in stirred reactors.

In this article, we present a brief account of our group's efforts at developing and using CFD models for simulating solid suspension in stirred tanks. Computational models were developed and evaluated by comparing model predictions with our data as well as published experimental data. A variety of experimental techniques ranging from torque and wall pressure fluctuations to ultrasound velocity profiler were used. Efforts were made to develop appropriate sub-models for capturing influence of the prevailing turbulence and solid volume fraction on effective inter-phase coupling terms. A hysteresis in variation of the height of the cloud of suspended solid with impeller rotational speed was observed. The hysteresis, besides having applications in realizing better suspension at lower effective power consumption, also offers an attractive evaluation test for CFD models. A new way to carry out dynamic settling of solid cloud by sudden impeller stoppage has been developed. The approach, models and results presented here will be useful for extending applications of CFD models for simulating industrial stirred slurry reactors as well as further research in the field.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.905

The solid suspension and the quality of the suspension are key issues in the design and operation of such stirred reactors. Despite extensive experimental work over previous decades, comprehensive understanding and reliable methods to predict the solids suspension and the quality of the suspension are not yet available. Advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and new experimental techniques offer potentially effective ways of understanding solids suspension in stirred tanks. The present work highlights the potential of using transient measurements by way of the dynamic settling of solid particles because of the sudden stoppage of an impeller to evaluate CFD models. Sudden impeller stoppage results in significantly different conditions, in terms of the ratio of particle diameter to Kolomogorov length scale (d(p)/lambda), as well as the solids volume fraction experienced by solid particles. Therefore, experimental data under such sudden impeller stoppage offer a better way to evaluate the influence of prevailing turbulence and solids volume fraction on effective drag and therefore offer a more-stringent test to CFD models than steady-state profiles. Besides facilitating the development of computational models, the experimental and simulation studies of sudden impeller stoppage also provide useful data to gain insight into the behavior of the stirred tank after abrupt impeller stoppage due to sudden power failure.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.206

Many of these applications involve boiling flows in conventional channels (channel size &amp;gt;= 3 mm). The key design issues in two phase flow boiling are variation in flow regimes, occurrence of dry out condition, flow instabilities, and understanding of heat transfer coefficient and vapor quality. This paper briefly reviews published experimental and modeling work in these areas. An attempt is made to provide a perspective and to present available information on boiling in small channels in terms of channel size, flow regimes, heat transfer correlations, pressure drop, critical heat flux and film thickness. An attempt is also made to identify strengths and weaknesses of published approaches and computational models of boiling in small channels. The presented discussion and results will provide an update on the state-of-the-art and will be useful to identify and plan further research in this important area.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.587

The void fraction is a dimensionless quantity and is often termed as ``holdup or fraction'' in two-phase flows. According to industrial applications; it is essential to develop measurement technique for void fraction measurement which can work in hot and opaque systems. Therefore, an attempt was made here to establish electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) facility for measuring void fraction and flow regimes as well as develop suitable data processing methodologies. In the present work, focus was to measure void fraction using ECT technique and compares it with conventional and high speed photography technique. Therefore, that will give guidelines of using ECT technique for hot and opaque systems like boiling flows. (C) 2014 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier BM.

In un-baffled stirred tanks, impeller rotation generates a vortex and reactants are added into this vortex. There is a growing interest towards understanding the mixing performance of such unbaffled stirred vessels. The present work is aimed at providing experimental results on mixing time and solid particle distribution inside an unbaffled vessel using electrical resistance tomography (ERT). A methodology for using ERT for characterizing vortex and mixing in unbaffled stirred vessel was established. The ERT was used to measure the mixing time with and without solid particles (glass beads, 250 mu m) in a stirred reactor. In this study, ERT technique was effectively applied for imaging solid-liquid flow and developed suitable data processing methodologies. It observed that estimated liquid phase mixing time for Un-baffled vessel was more as compared to baffled vessel. Radial solid concentration profiles showed Gaussian distribution inside the vessel. The presented methodology of using ERT and experimental results will be useful for designing and estimating mixing and solid distribution in unbaffled stirred tanks. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Heat transfer coefficients, flow boiling regimes, flow instabilities, pressure drops, and conditions like dry-out are some of the key issues in every boiling flow study. It is observed that a limited experimental database is available for the 19mm ID channel diameter, i.e. a typical tube diameter of steam generator. Therefore, in the present work, the experimental setup was designed for studying boiling flows in a 19mm ID tube in such a way that different flow regimes occurring in a steam generator tube (from pre-heating of sub-cooled water to dry-out) could be investigated by varying inlet conditions. The reported results cover a reasonable range: 8-27kW/m(2) and 2.9-5.9kg/m(2)s heat and mass flux conditions, respectively. A basic computational flow model was also developed to facilitate interpretation of the obtained data. The presented design of the experimental setup and the approach of mimicking different types of steam generator tubes as well as presented experimental and simulated results are useful for gaining insight into complex boiling flows in tubes, and provide a sound basis for further work in this area.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.066</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sardeshpande, Madhavi V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shastri, Parikshit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ranade, Vivek V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two-phase flow boiling pressure drop in small channels</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">61</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">636-649</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two-phase flow boiling in small channels finds a variety of applications in power and process industries. Heat transfer, boiling flow regimes, flow instabilities, pressure drop and dry out are some of the key issues related to two-phase flow boiling in channels. In this work, the focus is on pressure drop in two-phase flow boiling in tubes of 19 mm diameter. These tubes are typically used in steam generators. Relatively limited experimental database is available on 19 mm ID tube. Therefore, in the present work, the experimental set-up is designed for studying flow boiling in 19 mm ID tube in such a way that any of the different flow regimes occurring in a steam generator tube (from pre-heating of sub-cooled water to dry-out) can be investigated by varying inlet conditions. The reported results cover a reasonable range of heat and mass flux conditions such as 9-27 kW/m(2) and 2.9-5.9 kg/m(2) s respectively. In this paper, various existing correlations are assessed against experimental data for the pressure drop in a single, vertical channel during flow boiling of water at near-atmospheric pressure. A special feature of these experiments is that time-dependent pressures are measured at four locations along the channel. The steady-state pressure drop is estimated and the identification of boiling flow regimes is done with transient characteristics using time series analysis. Experimental data and corresponding results are compared with the reported correlations. The results will be useful for understanding key aspects of flow boiling in small channels.

Generally, pressurized hot water or thermal oil is used as a working fluid in the CPC. The elimination of solar tracking in CPC provides flexibility for installation and lower price point compared to other concentrating technologies with tracking. 

Steam is one of the universally accepted working fluid for process heat applications due to availability, nontoxic and high heat carrying capacity. Many industrial sectors such as food and beverages, textile, chemical processes etc utilize steam as a working fluid for process heat applications. Direct steam generation as a working fluid through a CPC has various operational, integration and cost advantages. The use of CPC for direct steam generation at saturation steam temperature range 105-145 degrees C (equivalent saturation pressure 0.5-3 bar (g)) can cater for low temperature process heat demand. Solar radiation intensity changes with the time of the day leading to change in heat flux for steam generation. There arc challenges for handling two phase flow (steam generation) in 'U' shaped metal tubes due to pressure drop, flow instabilities and control of steam dryness fraction under vatying solar heat flux. 

The focus of the present research work is to analyze a CPC system for direct steam generation. This paper discusses an experimental setup and challenges for direct steam generation. The experimental measurements will he focused on behavior of the thermal flow pattern inside the inclined metal tube at various heat flux conditions throughout the day, measurement of local heat transfer coefficients and corresponding vapor quality. Experimental data analysis and understanding will be useful to develop direct steam generation engineering schemes and its integration approach with various end-use applications.</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign

Gas hold up distribution and various flow regimes are the key parameters affecting performance of gas-liquid STRs. Various techniques such as visual analysis, photography, light attenuation, optical probe method are used to understand gas hold-up distribution within stirred tanks. Most of these techniques have some limitations with respect to measurement of gas hold up distribution. Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) is an upcoming technique for obtaining both qualitative and quantitative data on multiphase process units non-invasively and non-intrusively. In this work, an attempt was made to establish and validate the ERT technique for characterizing gas-liquid flows in a laboratory scale STR using the Rushton turbine impeller. ERT was used to study gas holdup and to identify flow regimes. The results were compared with the visual measurements as well as previously published correlations. The effect of gas flow rate, impeller speed on the mean gas holdup is discussed. The methodology and results presented in this work will be useful to effectively apply ERT for characterizing gas-liquid flows in stirred tanks. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
