...Ashok Thyagarajan; Gangchen Ren; Debjyoti Banerjee; Vijay Dhir Experiments were performed for determining the efficacy of a swirl-flow apparatus for phase separation of a premixed two-phase air–water mixture. In the experiments gas and liquid flow rates were parametrically varied. The goal...

... forces but also gravitational forces assist the separation process, which leads to an effective phase separation with short resident times of the droplets of 0.1 to 1 s. This setup of the separator distinctly differs from those which do not imply the gravity influence. It is suitable for a clean...

...F. Sanchez-Silva; V. Hernandez-Perez; I. Carvajal-Mariscal; J. G. Barbosa-Saldaña; J. A. Cruz-Maya Novel experimental data for phase separation of air-water mixtures in horizontal 90 deg branched elbows are presented in this work. The branched elbows were formed by attaching a pipe to a 90 deg...
