HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER AND WALL SHEAR STRESS IN VERTICAL GAS-LIQUID FLOW

Results of an experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer and wall shear stress at gas-liquid flow in a vertical tube are presented. Local wall shear stress and mass transfer coefficients were measured by an electrochemical method. Experiments were performed in the range of Reynolds number variation with respect to liquid Rei = 8.5 x 10(3)-5.4 x 10(4), gas Re(x) = 3 x 10(3)-1.4 x 10(5), pressure 0.1-1 MPa. The relalionship between heat and mass transfer and wall shear at gas-liquid flows is shown to exist. The results of measuring heat and mass transfer coefficients are generalized by formulas applied to calculate heat and mass transfer in single-phase turbulent flow.
