Water-sparged aerocyclone (WSA) is high efficiency gas-liquid mass transfer equipment
which takes the advantage of coupling effect of gas cyclone and liquid jet fields.In order to investigate the mechanism of jet-cyclone system of WSA and improve its mass transfer performance
jet flow pattern and its transformation was investigated by direct observation. Effective gas-liquid interfacial area per unit volume (a) of the WSA was also determined by chemical reaction method with CO2-NaOH solution system. The results show that jet flow pattern is mainly affected by jet velocity and air inlet velocity. There exists five jet flow patterns in the WSA
i.e.
steady state jet
deformed spiral jet
broken spiral jet
atomized spiral jet and total atomized spiral jet at jet velocity less than 4.42 m·s-1. At the jet velocity higher than 6.19 m·s-1 there exists only three jet flow patterns
i.e. deformed spiral jet
broken spiral jet and atomized spiral jet. The value of a is related to jet flow pattern
higher in atomized spiral jet than in other jets
and increases with liquid jet velocity because of the intense gas-liquid interaction in the WSA.
