The Effects of Gap Size on Flooding in Vertical Narrow Rectangular Channels

Abstract:

In this paper, counter-current gas--liquid two-phase flow and onset of flooding in vertical narrow rectangular channels were studied. In order to study the flow pattern, during counter-current flow and determine conditions associated with the onset of flooding, the flow pattern and pressure drop were investigated by visual experiments. The results show that the flow characteristics and the tendency of pressure drop in vertical narrow rectangular channels were similarly with the conventional channels. However, the maximum of pressure drop appeared at the completed carrying up of flooding in vertical narrow rectangular channels, and it appeared at the onset of flooding in conventional channels. Flooding gas velocities decrease as the gap size decreases; The gas velocity required for flooding increases as the gap size increases at the same liquid flow rate.
