Development of physico-chemical and hydrodynamic ways of heat and mass transfer intensification under the influence of self organisation in two phase systems

Objective



This research will be oriented towards investigation into the physico-chemical hydrodynamics of a mobile interface to identify the relationships between physico-chemical properties and/or flow rates which produce enhanced phenomena of self organisation of such increased rates of transfer. This could be seen as a means of reducing the size of equipment used in chemical plants for separation and reaction by countercurrent contact of gas/liquid or immiscible liquid/liquid.

The work will be done by achieving process intensification without the use of added energy by: development of ways to predict the self organisation and intensification of heat and mass transfer at the interface under Marangoni's instability and related effects of heat absorption and direction of surfactant flux; understanding the hydrodynamics and mass transfer under conditions of phase inversion; and the development of a new method of stabilisation and control of gas liquid flow to achieve self-stabilisation in packed or tray columns.
