Introduction
o What is disc and doughnut pulsed column (DDPC)? o Applications
Solvent extraction for biotechnology, waste water treatment, heat sensitive materials purification, product recovery
Advantages
High (reasonable) capacity : 20-30 m3/m2-hr Low cost investment High residence time Smaller footprint Number of theoretical stages of pulsed column is required one-third of extraction column
Disadvantages
Limited stages due to back mixing Mass transfer efficiency of commercial DDPC is low
Objective:
Investigation of pulsating flow in disc-doughnut pulsed column for single phase flow

Mathematical modeling
o Governing equation (in cylindrical coordinates) in non-dimensional form:
Continuity equation:
The velocity for pulsatile flow is combination of mean and fluctuating velocity:
Outlet -OUTFLOW
- Viscosity - Density, x0 - Amplitude of pulse R - Radius Angular frequency where, mass flow rate (kg/s), t time (s) and angular frequency (rad/s)

Conclusions
o o o o o Single phase flow in DDPC by CFD, at low St and Re has been simulated The flow is reversible for low Reynolds and Strouhal numbers as expected (Re<1. & St <0.2) Simulation results agree well with the analytical solutions in the low Re and St regime At lower frequency the effect of St on reattachment length is not significant At higher frequencies, the reattachment length increases with increase in St
