Abstract EN
Distribution characteristics of liquid droplet size are described using the fractal theory for liquid droplet size distribution in gas-liquid mist flow.
Thereby, the fractal expression of the maximum droplet diameter is derived.
The fractal model for maximum droplet diameter is obtained based on the internal relationship between maximum droplet diameter and the droplet fractal dimension, which is obtained by analyzing the balance between total droplet surface energy and total gas turbulent kinetic energy.
Fractal model predictions of maximum droplet diameter agree with the experimental data.
Maximum droplet diameter and droplet fractal dimension are both found to be related to the superficial velocity of gas and liquid.
Maximum droplet diameter decreases with an increase in gas superficial velocity but increases with an increase in liquid superficial velocity.
Droplet fractal dimension increases with an increase in gas superficial velocity but decreases with an increase in liquid superficial velocity.
These are all consistent with the physical facts.
