flow behaviour. The effect of void fraction and bubble diameter which is also a key
parameter for understanding the dynamics of two-phase flow is unfortunately not
detailed analysed in available literature.
(e) Scope of work: Effect of turbulence instability in liquid transfer efficiency of Air Lift
Pump will be studied in details. A new mathematical relation shall be investigated
using coupled continuity and momentum equations incorporating pressure term in the
continuity equation. The two phase flow regimes simulated using the numerical
method shall be compared with the available flow regime map in the literatures,
analytical correlations and experiments. Effect of different submergence ratios shall
be investigated in detailed for optimum fluid transfer.
(f) Deliverables: 2Phase modelling of Air Lift Pump, Design optimazation of ALPs,
Development of mathematical model for flow in the ALPs using different flow
regimes incorporating effects of turbulence instability and low to high submergence
ratio. The results obtained will be validated with shake table experiment data.
