Foram utilizados dois sensores de impedância posicionados 77D e 257D a jusante do misturador de água e ar. As faixas de velocidades superficiais de gás e líquido foram 0,1 m/s a 2,1 m/s e 0,3 m/s a 1,2 m/s, respectivamente. Os ângulos de inclinação da tubulação variaram de 15 em 15 graus desde a horizontal até a vertical. Por meio dos sensores de impedância e de pressão foram determinados os parâmetros: a velocidade do nariz da bolha de ar, o comprimento da bolha e do pistão líquido, a freqüência, o fator de intermitência, a taxa de coalescência e a queda de pressão. Uma análise do comportamento destes parâmetros em função das vazões de água e ar assim como dos ângulos de inclinação é realizada / Abstract: This work analyses experimentally the flow properties of a gas-liquid mixture flowing in the slug regime in inclined lines. The experimental data are collected through a pair of impedance probes placed at 77D and 257D downstream of the air-water mixer in a 26mm ID pipe. During the tests air and water superficial velocities spanned, respectively, from 0,1 m/s to 2,1 m/s and from 0,3 m/s to 1,2 m/s. The tests started with the line positioned at the horizontal, 0 degrees and changed, in steps of 15 degrees each, up to the vertical position or 90 degrees. Along each line position the pressure drop, the bubble velocity, the lengths of the liquid slug and of the elongated bubble, the coalescence rate as well as the frequency of the air-water structures were measured. This work analyses the effect of the line inclination on the slug flow properties / Mestrado / Termica e Fluidos / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Electrophoresis of solutes was studied in aqueous two-phase systems, concentrating on the special behavior in the interfacial region. Moving boundary electrophoresis was examined in a free fluid U-tube apparatus. Zone electrophoresis was investigated in two-phase systems which were gelled by the addition of acrylamide, which was subsequently polymerized. The size and nature (concentration or dilution) of polarizations which were found to occur was found to depend on the magnitude of the equilibrium partition coefficient of the solute in the two-phase system, as well as the direction of migration across the interface. These polarizations are in addition to those commonly known to occur near regions where electrophoretic flux changes radically, such as near interfaces. They can be a direct result of the requirement for equilibrium across the interface, as demonstrated by our experiments. Models were constructed to numerically simulate this behavior, which accounted for unsteady state electrophoresis and diffusion of multiple proteins or other amphoteric solutes. Two cases were explored, one requiring instantaneous solute equilibration across the interface, the other allowing for a resistance to mass transfer here. All models demonstrated a characteristic noted in experimental studies, concentration at interfaces when electrophoresis is from equilibrium preferred phase towards non-preferred phase. Furthermore, the equilibrium model correctly predicted the complex relationship between partition coefficient, direction of migration, and moving boundary or zone electrophoresis, which causes differences in the polarizations observed in these various systems. The simulation could also quantitatively estimate the width of the polarized region to within an order of magnitude, in comparison with experimental results, while hampered by a lack of mobility data for solutes in solutions containing polymers.

A method of measuring the moan liquid velocity in an airwater two-phase flow has been successfully developed utilising an electrolyte tracer technique. Liquid holdup is derived from this velocity measurement and compared with existing correlation. Two new liquid holdup correlations are developed, one empirical the other theoretical. These are compared with the correlations and data of others over a wide range of experimental conditions with encouraging results Pressure drop has been measured for straight pipe and for six 90 degree bends, of relative radius, R/d = 1 to 6 inclusive, The straight pipe data is in agreement with the results of others, A theoretical analysis of straight pipe pressure drop is attempted and good agreement let demonstrated with the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation The data for the tends indicate that the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation will predict the predict the Pressure drop With acceptable accuracy. The applicability of a homogeneous model with a constant bend resistance coefficient is demonstrated. The total momentum flux has been measured at the pipe exit and a liquid entrainment factor is postulated in order to satisfy momentum and continuity constraints for a two-velocity flow model. Entrainment correlations are developed for slug flows and an existing correlation for annular flow is found satisfactory with modification.
