Review of entrainment phenomena and application to vertical two-phase countercurrent flooding

Creators

Description

This report summarizes the available information on entrainment phenomena in concurrent annular dispersed flow and assesses the current understanding of the role of liquid entrainment in countercurrent flooding. Particular attention is devoted to entrainment mechanisms and criteria, entrained drop sizes, flow structure, entrainment and deposition rates, and experimental methods. Attention is also given to the limits of applicability of concurrent flow analysis to countercurrent flow, and the comparison of the onset of entrainment criteria to flooding data
