Master’s Research

Measurement and Simulation of Flow Patterns in Gas-Liquid Dispersions

The study focused on the measurement of bubble size and liquid circulation velocity. Non intrusive
techniques (LDA and PIV) and Intrusive techniques (hot film anemometry, conductivity probe) were
utilized for this purpose. The conductivity probe to measure the gas hold-up, gas velocity and bubble size
has been developed in-house. Pressure fluctuation measurement carried out with miniature piezoresistive
diaphragm type sensors facilitates the estimation of some of the quantities like averaged liquid velocity,
frequency of velocity fluctuations and the bubble size information in operating equipment at industrial
scale, and offers an alternative for process monitoring of pilot and plant scale reactors for their performance
evaluation.
The velocity data obtained from LDA was analyzed with wavelet based multiresolution analysis to
separate gas-and liquid velocities and to infer gas hold-up and bubble sizes. PIV images were analyzed for
liquid velocity and bubble size and shape measurement. The data from pressure fluctuation signals was
analyzed to obtain bubble size and liquid circulation velocity. The data from conductivity probe is analyzed
to obtain gas holdup, gas velocity and bubble size. High speed camera was used for measuring bubble sizes
for calibration of conductivity and pressure probe. Measurements have been made in a rectangular (200x15
mm cross section) column and in a cylindrical bubble column (385 mm diameter). In the rectangular
column, pressure time series were recorded with one sensor near the sparger region and the other at the
measurement location i.e. at 400 and 600 mm height (H/D=2 and 3). The data obtained from different
techniques in 2D column provided a means to test the robustness of the developed techniques like
conductivity probe and the pressure probes to be employed in different contactors.

Ph.D. Research and publications

Multiphase dispersions are commonly encountered in many real life and industrial problems when
two or more phases are contacted for a variety of reason including reaction and separations. The research
work involved development of novel measurement techniques to get deeper understanding of transport
phenomena in multiphase dispersion. The hydrodynamics of gas-liquid, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid
dispersions was studied with novel techniques like PIV/PLIF, shadowgraphy, refractive index matching,
conductivity probes and pressure sensors. A variety of equipments were studied, like bubble column,
annular centrifugal extractor, jet loop reactor, direct contact steam condensation, pool boiling of water, and
solid liquid fluidized beds. Special data processing routines were required in order to achieve the target of
getting the velocity and dispersed phase holdup distributions in the contactors.
Careful CFD simulations (Large eddy simulation, implemented with CFX 11.0) are undertaken to
get deeper insight of phenomena occurring close to interfaces, which is expected to throw light on the
underlying mechanisms of enhanced transport by turbulence. This will help reduce the wastage of energy
and improve the reliability of design and hence result into overall improvement the efficiency of chemical
processing equipment while reducing the installation and operating cost.

Personal Vision and Mission

With my interdisciplinary exposure of chemical, mechanical and electrical engineering; applied

physics, chemistry and mathematics; and computer programming, I would like to explore the arena of
transport phenomena in complex systems. Particularly,
Academics:
Transport phenomena, chemical reaction engineering and advanced separation processes are the pillars of
modern chemical engineering. However, these subjects are still evolving. I would focus on teaching the
subjects with balance between rigor and ease of understanding. My major aim is to help produce the next
generation chemical engineers with this knowledge, who will cope up with the increasing demands of low
cost and environment friendly indigenous processes.
Research:
I would particularly focus on generation of knowledge base that would support the scale independent
engineering. I would work to use the interdisciplinary expertise come up with breakthroughs in realizing
the hardware needed to work on meso, micro and nano scale with focus on energy and novel reaction
systems. I would focus to strike a balance between the basic research on the fundamentals of the fluid flow
and the applied research to develop products and technologies.
I propose to undertake the development of indigenous products and technology including the design
and fabrication of the equipment along with required advanced instrumentation to cater the critical national
requirements of atomic energy and defense, as well as the chemical process industry.
