Description

Title: Liquid - Gas Mixing Device
Field of the invention
This invention relates to a device for mixing a liquid with a gas to produce a fine foam.
Background to the invention
A need exists for the thorough mixing of liquids and gases, for example for foam formation, aeration, oxygenation or gas scrubbing. A usual requirement is for the liquid to present the largest surface area possible to the gas.
In recent years the demand for some of this equipment has been increasing because of the increased pressures on industry to minimise pollution. Examples are scrubbing noxious gases and oxygenating polluted rivers and lakes.
A need also exists for the thorough mixing of two or more liquids in for example the processing industries.
A number of devices have been used for this purpose, including Venturi tubes where for instance air is sucked into a pipe in the form of bubbles containing liquid, or liquid is sprayed into a Venturi-shaped tube containing gas. Velocities are kept above laminar flow levels to ensure turbulent flow and hence good mixing. Other mixing devices use blades and other mechanical devices with moving parts to mix the two phases.
One example of such a device is an aerator used to aerate slurry on farms to accelerate the digestion of noxious bacteria and reduce the smell. The liquid to be aerated is pumped through a nozzle to increase its velocity and hence lower its pressure. After passing through the nozzle it enters a 'T' piece with a connection to an air supply at right angles to the flow of liquid. Air is dragged into the liquid flow in the manner of an ejector. The mixed flow is then passed through a long barrel the size of which ensures that the flow is turbulent r and hence rigorous mixing takes place.
Another example of such a device is an oxygenator used to oxygenate polluted rivers and lakes. A Venturi tube is used to drag oxygen into a flow of water. hen this mixture expands in the expansion section of .the Venturi tube vigorous mixing takes place because of the positive pressure gradient.
Yet another aerating device works by pumping liquid to a mixing head which contains a large number of stainless steel pins on both a stator and rotor. The rotor mixes the ingredients τ and at the same time compressed air is introduced into the head to aerate the mix to a foam. In this device mixing is achieved by mechanical means.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple device having no moving parts and which is capable of producing fine foams. Summary of -the invention
According to the present • invention there is provided a device for mixing a liquid with a gas to produce a fine foam, comprising: means for feeding a liquid under pressure along a passage, gas inlet means for admitting gas into the passage to mix with the liquid, and a sized restrictor through which the mixture is forced to pass, causing the mixture to reach substantially a supersonic velocity downstream of the restrictor, whereby the shock waves resulting from the subsequent decelaration of the mixture cause the mixture to be further broken up to produce a fine foam.
The passage may be a tube containing the liquid with one or more openings, in which gas is allowed to pass and mix with the liquid to form bubbles. The resultant mixture is then passed through a carefully sized convergent-divergent nozzle which ensures that the mixed flow is first forced to go supersonic and then forced to pass through shock waves as it decelerates back to subsonic. Pre ixing of the liquid gas mixture can be enhanced by passing the mixture through an orifice or other mixing device upstream of the supersonic nozzle.
In one embodiment only one orifice is used. At the entrance to the orifice vigorous mixing ensures that a relatively fine mix is exhausted at the orifice exit. Choking of the mixture takes place at the exit (sonic velocity) and as the mixture expands downstream of the exit it goes supersonic for a short distance and finally passes through shock waves as it decelerates to a subsonic condition .
In another embodiment a Venturi tube is used to suck gas into the liquid stream. This mixture is then passed through a supersonic nozzle.
In yet another embodiment the supersonic nozzle is a convergent-divergent or de-Laval nozzle. In this case large Mach numbers (ratio of velocity to sonic velocity) can be attained with associated strong shock waves and enhanced mixing.
In the case of mixing two or more liquids using said device, the gas will have to be separated from the liquid mixture at a later stage.
The device in accordance with the invention uses the little known phenomena of choking in gas-liquid mixtures. This phenomena is described below.
The phenomena of compressible flow in gas-liquid mixtures is described in detail in two papers: "Compressible Flow of an Air-Water Mixture through a Vertical, Two Dimensional, Converging-Diverging Nozzle" by J.F. Muir and R. Eichorn (1) , and "One Dimensional Flow of Liquids Containing Small Gas Bubbles" by L.van Wijngaarden (2).
Mixtures of gas and liquids behave as if they are compressible, with the not very well known property of having a sonic velocity well below those of either of its constituents. The lowest speed of sound is reached at mixtures of 50% gas and 50% liquid by volume. For example in water/air mixtures at a pressure of 1 bar the velocity is approximately 20m/s, still well below the speed of sound in air which is over 300m/s at 1 bar. These figures are taken from paper (2) above.
The result of this is that supersonic velocities can be achieved at relatively low velocities, with corresponding shock waves when the mixture is decelerated to subsonic speeds from supersonic conditions. Shock waves are characterised by very large pressure increases over short distances and hence very large shear forces, which break up the gas bubbles into smaller ones very efficiently. This phenomena is mentiond in paper (2) above.
This phenomena of supersonic flow and its associated shock waves is used in the present invention to break gas-liquid mixtures into fine foams.
Other features of the invention are defined in the appended claims.
Brief description of the drawings
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:- '
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a device in accordance with one embodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is a device similar to Figure 1 but incorporating a Venturi gas inlet; and
Figure 3 is a further device but incorporating a de-Laval nozzle. Detailed description
Referring firsi: to Figure 1, liquid 1 is forced along a tube 2 in which openings 4 are located from which gas 3 is injected into the liquid stream. The resultant bubbly mixture is passed through a pre-mixing orifice 6, which breaks up the bubbles and mixes the two constituents further and increases the volumetric ratio of gas to liquid because of the associated pressure reduction and expansion of the gas. The resultant mixture, which should preferably be near to 50% gas in volumetric terms, is then passed through a sized restrictor in the form of a second orifice 7 where the mixture reaches sonic conditions. As the mixture leaves orifice 7 and expands into the increased space, it goes supersonic and then decelerates to subsonic through shock waves, resulting in a foamy mixture 9.
The number of orifices used can vary depending on factors such as the gas to liquid ratios, the type of gas and liquid, and the flow rates.
Referring to Figure 2, liquid 1 is forced along a tube 2 and into a Venturi 11 in which openings 4 are located from which gas 3 is injected into the liquid stream. The resultant bubbly mixture is further broken up in the expansion section of the Venturi, resulting in an even finer mixture which should preferably be near to 50% gas in volumetric terms. This is then passed through an orifice 7 where the mixture reaches sonic conditions. As the mixture leaves orifice 7 and expands into the increased space it again decelerates and passes through shock waves, resulting in a foamy mixture 9. Referring to Figure 3, liquid 1 is forced along a tube 2 to which openings 4 are located from which gas 3 is injected into' the liquid stream. The resultant bubbly mixture is passed through a pre-mixing orifice 6 which again breaks up the bubbles, and mixes the two constituents further, and increases the volumetric ratio of gas to liquid. The resultant mixture, again near to 50% gas in volumetric terms, is then passed through a de Laval convergent divergent nozzle 12 where the mixture reaches sonic conditions at the throat. As the mixture leaves nozzle 12 and expands into the increased space it again goes supersonic and then declerates to subsonic through shock waves, resulting in a foamy mixture 9.
Combinations of the three examples shown are also possible.
