The effect of two-phase flow regime on decisive hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of horizontal-tube gas-liquid reactors (pressure drop, liquid holdup, kLaL) was determined in a cocurrent-flow experimental unit of the length 4.15 m and diameter 0.05 m with air-water system. An adjustable-height weir was installed in the separation chamber at the reactor outlet to simulate the effect of internal baffles on reactor hydrodynamics. Flow regime maps were developed in the whole range of experimental gas and liquid flow rates both for the weirless arrangement and for the weir height 0.05 m, the former being in good agreement with flow-pattern boundaries presented by Mandhane. In the whole range of experi-mental conditions pressure drop data could be well correlated as a function of gas and liquid flow rates by an empirical exponential-type relation with specific sets of coefficients obtained for individual flow regimes from experimental data. Good agreement was observed between values of pressure drop obtained for weirless arrangement and data calculated from the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation while the contribution of weir to the overall pressure drop was well described by a relation proposed for the pressure loss in closed-end tubes. In the region of negligible weir influence values of liquid holdup were again succesfully correlated by the Lockhart-Martinelli relation while the dependence of liquid holdup data on gas and liquid flow rates obtained under conditions of significant weir effect (i.e. at low flow rates of both phases) could be well described by an empirical exponential-type relation. Results of preliminary kLaL measurements confirmed the decisive effect of the rate of energy dissipation on the intensity of interfacial mass transfer in gas-liquid dispersions.

The paper presents a numerical simulation and analysis of the flow inside a poppet valve. First, the single-phase (liquid) flow is investigated, and an original model is introduced for quantitatively describing the vortex flow. Since an atmospheric outlet pressure produces large negative absolute pressure regions, a two-phase (cavitating) flow analysis is also performed. Both pressure and density distributions inside the cavity are presented, and a comparison with the liquid flow results is performed. It is found that if one defines the cavity radius such that up to this radius the pressure is no larger than the vaporization pressure, then both liquid and cavitating flow models predict the cavity extent. The current effort is based on the application of the recently developed full cavitation model that utilizes the modified Rayleigh-Plesset equations for bubble dynamics.
