The Effect of the Angle of Pipe Inclination on the Average Size and Velocity of Gas Bubbles Injected from a Capillary into a Liquid

This work is devoted to an experimental study of the effect of coalescence on the average diameter and velocity of gas bubbles in an inclined pipe. The measurements were carried out for agas flow rate of 3.3 and 5 mL/min at pipe inclination angles of 30–60°. The study of gas bubble diameters was per...

Description
Summary:This work is devoted to an experimental study of the effect of coalescence on the average diameter and velocity of gas bubbles in an inclined pipe. The measurements were carried out for agas flow rate of 3.3 and 5 mL/min at pipe inclination angles of 30–60°. The study of gas bubble diameters was performed using a shadow photography method. The values of the average diameter and velocity of the bubbles were obtained depending on the angle of inclination of the pipe. A map of regime parameters was constructed at which gas bubbles form a stable structure—a chain of bubbles with an equal diameter.
