Study of the impacts of droplets deposited from the gas core onto a gas-sheared liquid film (2016)
Journal Article
Cherdantsev, A. V., Hann, D. B., Hewakandamby, B. N., & Azzopardi, B. J. (2017). Study of the impacts of droplets deposited from the gas core onto a gas-sheared liquid film. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 88, 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2016.09.015

The results of an experimental study on droplet impactions in the flow of a gas-sheared liquid film are presented. In contrast to most similar studies, the impacting droplets were entrained from film surface by the gas stream. The measurements provid...

The control and maintenance of desired flow patterns in bends of different orientations (2016)
Journal Article
Zhao, D., Omar, R., Abdulkadir, M., Abdulkareem, L. A., Azzi, A., Saidj, F., …Azzopardi, B. J. (in press). The control and maintenance of desired flow patterns in bends of different orientations. Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 53(B), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.flowmeasinst.2016.09.003

Multiphase flows are common in industrial settings and bends in pipe lines cannot be avoided due to space limitations. Gas-liquid two phase flows could form material discontinuities that could have adverse effect on productivity and the pipe network...

Subatmospheric boiling study of the operation of a horizontal thermosyphon reboiler loop: Instability (2016)
Journal Article
Agunlejika, E. O., Langston, P. A., Azzopardi, B. J., & Hewakandamby, B. N. (2016). Subatmospheric boiling study of the operation of a horizontal thermosyphon reboiler loop: Instability. Applied Thermal Engineering, 109(A), 739-745. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2016.08.135

Distillation and chemical processing under vacuum is of immense interest to petroleum and chemical industries due to lower energy costs and improved safety. To tap into these benefits, energy efficient reboilers with lower maintenance costs are requi...

Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows (2016)
Journal Article
Monrós-Andreu, G., Martinez-Cuenca, R., Torró, S., Escrig, J., Hewakandamby, B., & Chiva, S. (2016). Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows. Measurement Science and Technology, 27(7), Article 074004. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/27/7/074004

Despite its variable degree of application, intrusive instrumentation is the most accurate way to obtain local information in a two-phase flow system, especially local interfacial velocity and local interfacial area parameters. In this way, multi-nee... Read More about Multi-needle capacitance probe for non-conductive two-phase flows.
