ABSTRACT:
A mass of energy transfer device is disclosed which is adapted for intermixing a liquid and a gas phase for the purpose of mass, heat or kinetic energy transfer between the phases. The transfer device includes a plurality of individual substantially tubular mixing elements each of which receives a high velocity spray of the liquid phase for substantially longitudinal travel therein and draws the gas phase into a throat and diffuser through a substantially axisymmetrical opening. The mixing elements are mounted into an enveloping vessel the interior of which is in fluid communication with a source of the gas phase. Efficiency of the device is disclosed to depend exponentially on the ratio of the momentum range of the liquid spray to the throat diameter which is related to the ratio of the slip velocity of the liquid and gas to the velocity of the gas. Throat diameters of approximately ten inches or less of each of the individual mixing elements provide capability for efficient mass transfer on practically any scale of design of the overall transfer device.
