Gas-Liquid And Liquid-Liquid Separators is practical guide designed to help engineers and operators develop a ?feel? for selection, specification, operating parameters, and trouble-shooting separators; form an understanding of the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in operating the equipment. The goal is to help familiarize operators with the knowledge and tools required to understand design flaws and solve everyday operational problems for types of separators. Gas-Liquid And Liquid-Liquid Separators is divided into six parts: Part one and two covers fundamentals such as: physical properties, phase behaviour and calculations. Part three through five is dedicated to topics such as: separator construction, factors affecting separation, vessel operation, and separator operation considerations. Part six is devoted to the ASME codes governing wall thickness determination of vessel weight fabrication, inspection, alteration and repair of separators - 500 illustrations - Easy to understand calculations methods - Guide for protecting downstream equipment - Helps reduce the loss of expensive intermediate ends - Helps increase product purity

Liquid-Gas and Solid-Gas Separators, part of the Industrial Equipment for Chemical Engineering set, details the magnetic properties of solids and their separation in a magnetic field. After a thorough description of the electronic filter and its functioning, numerical examples are given for the functioning of Venturi (which is a convergent–divergent). The centrifugal separator with superimposed plates theory is also developed alongside the screw-mud-pump. The author also provides the methods needed for understanding the equipment used in applied thermodynamics in the hope of encouraging students and engineers to self build the programs they need. Chapters are complemented with appendices that provide additional information and associated references. - Presents a comprehensive example of a real-world simulation of a venturi - Examines a centrifugal decanter designed to separate the components of a liquid–solid - Details the magnetic properties of solids and their separation in a magnetic field

Application of compressed gases as solvents has found widespread interest within the scientific community. Its processes have industrial applications. Gas Extraction deals with the possibilities of supercritical gases as solvents for separation processes. The volume combines physico-chemical aspects with chemical engineering methods. The text generalizes as far as possible, and treats examples in detail. Gas Extraction covers, for the first time, the subject in textbook form. Most of the examples provide new results that will be helpful for practicing scientists, engineers, and students who want to make use of the techniques.

Gas-liquid separation is a key task for various systems that are utilized onboard the International Space Station, such as active thermal control and waste management. In most of these system designs, performance is either significantly degraded or the equipment undergoes increased wear if two phase flow is not first separated.Unlike being under the influence of Earth gravity, where gas and liquid separate spontaneously due to buoyancy forces, gas bubbles remain suspended within the liquid under microgravity conditions. In the passive cyclonic separator studied in this research, the gas-liquid mixture is separated by the centrifugal force created by tangentially injecting the two phase fluid into a cylindrical housing. The inertia of the flow itself creates a swirling motion which generates the centrifugal acceleration. Due to the density differences between the two phases, the lower density gas phase moves towards the center of rotation creating a gas core surrounded by an annular liquid film.In such an operation, the separation efficiency is strongly influenced by the gas core behavior and the transport of bubbles within the turbulent liquid annulus. The main focus of the present study is to obtain physical insight into the gas core behavior as well as the bubble dynamics within the liquid film through experimentation and computational modeling.The experimental portion of this work entails the construction and operation of a specific cyclonic two phase separator operated across its useful parameter range under the influence of Earth gravity. The useful operating ranges and separation efficiencies are mapped. The numerical modeling work includes two hybrid-multiphase computational fluid dynamics techniques coupled with large eddy simulation turbulence modeling and are implemented by using the OpenFOAM library.Data analysis and comparison reveal that the injection nozzle design, swirl number, and volumetric gas quality all have a major influence on the gas core size. The control volume analysis reveals the importance of the skin friction coefficient. The trajectories of single gas bubbles are simulated numerically and graphed. It is found that fluid turbulence tends to disperse small gas bubbles in the liquid film resulting in a longer residence time.
