Efficiency of Fibrous Filters in Suspension Filtration

The penetration coefficient of hydrosol particles through the irregular fibrous filter as a function of their radii was calculated for a sieve mechanism of capture.     

Some peculiarities of two-phase flow in nozzles

Calculations are conducted for unidimensional two-phase flow in nozzles for a wide range of particle concentrations and dimensions. It is established that there exists a maximum in loss of specific momentum due to a lag in particle velocity and temperature relative to the gas. The results obtained are compared with calculations using linearized theory as well as with experimental data. The agreement between calculation and experiment is noted. Equilibrium flow of a two-phase mixture with solidification of liquid particles is considered. The presence of an anomalous flow region is established, where in the model of an ideal unidimensional equilibrium flow in a nozzle with discharge into a vacuum the presence of two successively located minimum sections is necessary.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 50–57, May–June, 1973.
