The Formation and Stability of Fluid Emulsification Zones in an Ascending Swirling Gas Flow in a Flow Vortex Gas-Dynamic Generator

摘要

This article is devoted to the investigation of the formation and stability of the occurrence of liquid emulsification zones in an ascending swirling gas flow in a flow vortex gas-dynamic reactor intended to remove solid particles from industrial gases. It is shown that an extended emulsification region almost completely filling the volume of the working generator chamber appears in the working part of this chamber during the wave interaction of the liquid film draining along the cylindrical surface and ascending swirling gas flow. The efficiency of the removal of the solid particles in the gas-dynamic generator can reach 99.8-99.9%. When using a liquid supply facility in a form of a jet baffle with a thin-walled cylinder, the boundaries of this region are almost independent of gas consumption, concentration of solid particles and liquid in gas, and gas temperature in the variation ranges of the parameters under study.
