G—jitter effects on mass transfer in annular liquid jets

Abstract

This paper analyses numerically the effects of sinusoidal g—jitter on the fluid dynamics of, and mass transfer in, annular liquid jets. It is shown that the pressure and volume of the gases enclosed by the jet, the gas concentration at the jet’s inner interface, and the mass absorption rates at the jet’s inner and outer interfaces are sinusoidal functions of time which have the same frequency as that of the g—jitter. The amplitude of these oscillations increases and decreases, respectively, as the amplitude and frequency, respectively, of the g—jitter is increased. The pressure coefficient and the gas concentration at the jet’s inner interface are in phase with the applied g—jitter and the amplitude of their oscillations increases almost linearly with the amplitude of the g—jitter. The mass absorption rates at the jet’s inner and outer interfaces exhibit a phase lag with respect to the g—jitter.
