Mechanistic modeling of pool entrainment phenomenon (Q761197)

Correlations for the droplet entrainment and carryover from a bubbling or boiling pool by streaming gas have been developed based on a simple mechanistic model of entrainment in collaboration with experimental data. The analysis reveals that there are three regions of entrainment depending on the height above the pool surface. For each region the correlation for the entrainment amount has been developed in terms of the dimensionless gas velocity, height above surface, gas viscosity number, vessel diameter, and density ratio.
