Go to Editorial ManagerThe breakage rate of liquid drops in the dispersed phase is a key way to improve the heat and mass transfer between the continuous/dispersed phases. This work includes a review of experimental results of liquid drop breakage in an agitated tank. The study highlighted the experimental conditions that were investigated as well as the important findings about the impact of operating conditions on some breakup parameters. The conflicts and discrepancies in the findings of those studies were identified and analyzed. The review found that many experimental parameters affect the drop breakage rate. The breakage probability (BP), number of fragments, and breakage time (BT) are direct functions of power input.
The presence of heavy metal pollutants in refinery effluent significantly impacts the corrosion rate of carbon steel. The focus of this research is to analyze the impact of various inorganic pollutants, including copper, vanadium, nickel, and chromium ions, on the corrosion of carbon steel across different solutions. After conducting a thorough examination of various operating conditions, including pollutant concentration (ranging from 300-3000 ppm), temperature (30-60? C), and flow velocity (0-800 rpm). Our research shows that copper ions have the highest corrosion rate, with vanadium ions being a close second. Conversely, nickel and chromium had the most negligible impact on corrosion rate and, in some instances, even exhibited corrosion inhibition effects. It was also observed that an increase in flow velocity and temperature significantly amplified the corrosion rate of the metal ions investigated.
