Air Pollutant Absorption By Single Moving Droplets With Drag Force At Moderate Reynolds Numbers, Wei-Hsin Chen Dec 2005

Air Pollutant Absorption By Single Moving Droplets With Drag Force At Moderate Reynolds Numbers, Wei-Hsin Chen

Wei-Hsin Chen

Mass transfer phenomena of hydrogen chloride around single water droplets at moderate initial Reynolds numbers are investigated to simulate air pollutant absorption by droplets in wet scrubbers. Of particular interest is the uptake mechanism in the droplet under the impact of deceleration. An examination of the mass transfer inside the droplet, in view of the solute transport delay from the gas–liquid interface to the droplet interior, a maximum distribution in concentration difference between the droplet surface and the internal minimum concentration is exhibited. Meanwhile, gaseous scavenging behavior is apparently characterized by the droplet. Regarding the effect of the decelerating motion, …

Tri-Brachial Flames Around Two Interactive Droplets In Flows With Fuel Vapor, Wei-Hsin Chen Apr 2001

Tri-Brachial Flames Around Two Interactive Droplets In Flows With Fuel Vapor, Wei-Hsin Chen

Wei-Hsin Chen

The flame structures around two equal-sized and interactive fuel droplets immersed in high-temperature convective flows are examined. When the flame is sustained between the two droplets while the flow is pure air, an anchor-shape flame structure, namely the tri-brachial flame, is clearly observed. When far-field temperature or ambient equivalence ratio is increased, the flame propagates upstream and the fuel-lean premixed flame withers. However, ifthe ambient equivalence ratio is high to some extent such as 0.3, two wings ofthe flame, viz. the fuel-lean and the fuel-rich premixed flames, extend outward from the stoichiometric point. Once the flame encircles the leading droplet, …
