Experimental investigation of void fraction and flow patterns in coiled flow inverter

Utilization of milli-scale coiled flow inverter in combination with phase separator for continuous flow liquid–liquid extraction processes

“…CFI was shown to be very effective as a heat exchanger [61,[91][92][93][94] and as an inline mixer of two miscible liquids [58,59] Furthermore, it was used for chemical reaction [95] and to study fluid flow in two-phase gas-liquid systems [60,[96][97][98]. It was found to have residence time distribution close to an ideal plug flow reactor [99,100].…”

Study on the influence of coconut oil on flow pattern and pressure drop of two-phase swirl flow

“…C ¼ B a m e nx P q c b p (8) Regression analysis of experimental data in zone 2 shows that constants B and exponents m, n, q and p are 19.41, 1.9, 0.13, 1.01.…”

“…However, the authors believe that this conclusion needs further experimental verication. In 2008, Vashisth et al 8 conducted an experimental study on the void fraction and ow pattern of gas-liquid two-phase swirl ow. The experiment identied stratied, slug, plug, wave and churn ow patterns.…”

Heat transfer enhancement by combination of chaotic advection and nanofluids flow in helically coiled tube

“…Chaotic coil flow is one of the passive mixers which has been addressed by Jones et al [9], Acharya et al [10,11], Mokrani et al [12], Castelain et al [13,14], Changy et al [1], Kumar and Nigam [15,16], Kumar et al [17], Vashisth and Nigam [18] and Yamagashi et al [19]. Normal coil flow generates a pair of vortices called Deanroll-cells due to centrifugal force.…”
