Structured mini/micro-scale reactors continue to receive attention from both industry and academia due to their low pressure drop, high mass transfer rates and ease of scale-up when compared to conventional reactor technology. Commonly considered for heat and mass transfer limited reactions such as hydrogenations, hydrodesulphurization, oxidations and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the performance of these systems is highly dependent on mixing and the interfacial area between phases. While existing literature describes the initial flow patterns generated by a broad range of two-phase contactors, few studies explore the dynamic impacts of downstream passive mixing elements. Experimental and computational methodologies for characterizing two-phase flow pattern transitions, pressure drop, mixing and mass transfer are discussed, with relevant examples for serpentine and venturi-based passive mixing designs. The efficacy of these two configurations are explored in the context of pressure drop, conditions leading to significant interface renewal, and design considerations for optimizing mass transfer. Challenges associate with the characterization of multiphase flow through these systems are highlighted, and strategies suggested for both experimental and computational analysis of dynamic flow patterns and fluid-fluid interactions.

This paper is an attempt to compare the the performance of the three different Multilayer Perceptron training algorithms namely Backpropagation, Scaled Conjugate Gradient and Levenberg-Marquardt for the prediction of the gas hold up and frictional pressure drop across the vertical pipe for gas non-Newtonian liquid flow from our earlier experimental data. The Multilayer Perceptron consists of a single hidden layer. Four different transfer functions were used in the hidden layer. All three algorithms were useful to predict the gas holdup and frictional pressure drop across the vertical pipe. Statistical analysis using Chi-square test (χ2) confirms that the Backpropagation training algorithm gives the best predictability for both cases.

Abstract The direct aqueous mineral carbonation of carbide slag was investigated. The flow characteristics of carbide slag-CO2-water reaction system in a bubble column were studied, which included the bubble Sauter mean diameter, gas holdup, bubble residence time, and the gas-liquid interfacial area. Bubble flow behaviors in the reactor were characterized by analyzing the bed pressure signals. The effects of the gas velocity (U g ) and liquid to solid ratio (L/S ratio) were discussed and analyzed. The results showed that the larger bubbles were easy to form at the larger L/S ratio, which indicated that the bubble coalescence was promoted. The gas holdup was larger when increasing U g or reducing the L/S ratio. The better gas-liquid interfacial areas were found in a wide range of L/S ratio at U g  = 0.082 m/s. The optimum conditions were found at U g  = 0.082 m/s and L/S ratio = 15–30 mL/g for the better gas-liquid interfacial area and the higher carbide slag conversion. The work provided the theoretical basis for the direct aqueous carbonation of the carbide slag and the operation condition optimization.
