Experimental Measurement of Interfacial Parameters of Elongated Bubbles in Two Phase Gas-Liquid Flow in Horizontal and Slightly Inclined Circular Pipes
This paper reports an experimental study of the measurement of elongated bubbles velocities and their longitudinal shapes using a high speed ultrasonic system in concurrent horizontal and at 5° and 10° inclined upward flow. The circular pipe test section is made of 25.6 mm stainless steel, followed by a transparent acrylic pipe with the same diameter. The high speed ultrasonic system consists of two transducers (10 MHz/6.35 mm diameter), a generator/multiplexer board that convert analog signals into digital data at a rate of 100 million frames per second, and a software that stores all the frames and the results of the time of flight of each signal. The results are compared with a visualization technique that consists of a highspeed digital camera recording images at rates of 125 and 250 frames per second. This range of liquid superficial velocity is from 0.2 to 1.1 m/s and that of the gas superficial velocity is from 0.35 to 1.0 m/s. The results obtained with the two experimental techniques show a good agreement among them for the elongated bubbles lengths and velocities, while having great statistics dispersion. The measured bubble shape is in agreement with literature data.
