Measurements of local mean aerosol concentration were made with a hot-wire anemometer and a special circuit including an electronic filter and counter. The concentration distribution of the liquid phase in a plane jet of air was measured and an analysis of the diffusion process is given and compared with the experiments. From the measurements the mass diffusivity of the liquid in the turbulent air is determined.

Abstract In 2018, China’s natural gas import reached 90.39 million tons, and the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import was 53.78 million tons, accounting for 59.5% of total natural gas imports. With the construction of LNG terminals, more studies on the leakage of LNG storage and transportation facilities have emerged to prevent catastrophic consequences such as explosions and frostbite. However, most of previous researches focused on gas pipeline leakage after LNG gasification, and few of those have been done on LNG liquid pipeline leakage. In this paper, Fluent software is used to numerically simulate the process of LNG liquid pipeline leakage. After the occurrence of LNG leakage, it will suffer the process of endothermic, evaporation, and diffusion, which is considered as a two-phase diffusion process. The Euler-Lagrangian method is introduced to simulate the diffusion process of gas phase and liquid phase separately. In the simulation, the liquid phase is regarded as discrete droplets for discrete processing. The movement trajectory, heat transfer process and evaporation process of each droplet are tracked respectively. Different from the liquid phase, the gas phase is regarded as a continuous phase and the Navier-Stokes equations are adopted for calculation. Thereafter, coupling calculations of two phase are performed to determine the concentration field and temperature field of the LNG liquid pipeline leakage. As a supplement to this research, the influence of wind speed on LNG leakage and diffusion process is analysed in detail. Finally, the numerical simulation method is applied to a coastal LNG terminal in northern China to determine the distribution of natural gas concentration and temperature, as well as delimit the combustion range. The results can provide scientific reference for the delimitation of risky zones and the formulation of emergency response strategy.

In this paper, the plasma discharge in a high-pressure fluid stream in order to produce gaseous hydrogen was studied. Methods and equipment have been developed for the excitation of a plasma discharge in a stream of liquid medium. The fluid flow under excessive pressure is directed to a hydrodynamic emitter located at the reactor inlet where a supersonic two-phase vapor-liquid flow under reduced pressure is formed in the liquid due to the pressure drop and decrease in the flow enthalpy. Electrodes are located in the reactor where an electric field is created using an external power source (the strength of the field exceeds the breakdown threshold of this two-phase medium) leading to theinitiation of a low-temperature glow quasi-stationary plasma discharge.A theoretical estimation of the parameters of this type of discharge has been carried out. It is shown that the lowtemperature plasma initiated under the flow conditions of a liquid-phase medium in the discharge gap between the electrodes can effectively decompose the hydrogen-containing molecules of organic compounds in a liquid with the formation of gaseous products where the content of hydrogen is more than 90%. In the process simulation, theoretical calculations of the voltage and discharge current were also made which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The reaction unit used in the experiments was of a volume of 50 ml and reaction capacity appeared to be about 1.5 liters of hydrogen per minute when using a mixture of oxygen-containing organic compounds as a raw material. During their decomposition in plasma, solid-phase products are also formed in insignificant amounts: carbon nanoparticles and oxide nanoparticles of discharge electrode materials.

The characteristics of axial dispersion in the liquid phase were measured for two basic flow regimes in a horizontal two-phase tube reactor. The data obtained indicate that in some flow regions, axial dispersion can be quite significant.

The prediction of phase equilibria for hydrocarbon/water blends in separators, is a subject of considerable importance for chemical processes. Despite its relevance, there are still pending questions. Among them, is the prediction of the correct number of phases. While a stability analysis using the Gibbs Free Energy of mixing and the NRTL model, provide a good understanding with calculation issues, when using HYSYS V9 and Aspen Plus V9 software, this shows that significant phase equilibrium uncertainties still exist. To clarify these matters, n-octane and water blends, are good surrogates of naphtha/water mixtures. Runs were developed in a CREC vapor–liquid (VL_ Cell operated with octane–water mixtures under dynamic conditions and used to establish the two-phase (liquid–vapor) and three phase (liquid–liquid–vapor) domains. Results obtained demonstrate that the two phase region (full solubility in the liquid phase) of n-octane in water at 100 °C is in the 10-4 mol fraction range, and it is larger than the 10-5 mol fraction predicted by Aspen Plus and the 10-7 mol fraction reported in the technical literature. Furthermore, and to provide an effective and accurate method for predicting the number of phases, a machine learning (ML) technique was implemented and successfully demonstrated, in the present study.

During the course of expansion of steam in turbines the fluid first supercools and then nucleates to become a two-phase mixture. The liquid phase consists of a large number of extremely small droplets which are difficult to generate except by nucleation. To reproduce turbine two-phase flow conditions requires a supply of supercooled vapour which can be achieved under blow-down conditions by the equipment employed. This paper is the third of a set describing an investigation into the performance of a cascade of rotor tip section profiles in wet steam and presents the results of the wake traverses.
