Quantity of entrained liquid

Quantity of entrained liquid

Quantity of entrained liquid

(OP)
How can I calculate the quantity of liquid (in kg/s or cm3/s) entrained by vapour, given the quantity of liquid in a pool and the quantity of vapour flowing through this liquid pool? Thanks.

RE: Quantity of entrained liquid

Given more information, (WHAT VOLUME container, WHAT LIQUID, WHAT VAPOR, WHAT TEMPERATURE, WHAT PRESSURE, WHAT FLOW RATE, WHAT "QUALITY FACTOR %, WHAT DIAMETER (tank or pipe or heat exchanger) .....) you can figure out your answer.

RE: Quantity of entrained liquid

(OP)
Thank for your answer, but it does not help me. I am looking for the method (equations, principles, theory) to apply to calculate the % of liquid entrained. I am not asking for the number.
For example the Sauders-Brown equation can be used to assess if there is entrainment or not in a vessel, but it does not says how much liquid is entrained. Any suggestion?

RE: Quantity of entrained liquid

Entrained how? As vapour or mist or droplets??

Can you assume the vapour is completely saturated with the liquid? If so then this information should be available for whatever liquid you have at the pressure and temperature you have. I don't think you can really calculate this.

Is the vapour just passing over the top or bubbled through the liquid or sprayed in or what?

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

RE: Quantity of entrained liquid

(OP)
The vapour is bubbling through the liquid. Essentially, steam is generated by water.
