X-Ray Based Mass Transfer Contactor Flow Field Visualization Fluid flow impacts the performance of process systems in a broad cross-section of industrialapplications. Separations equipment, chemical reactors, biological contactors, fermentationvessels, and heat transfer devices all perform at the mercy of hydraulic phenomena. Historically,models of the flow fields have been, at best, highly empirical. With the advent of high speedcomputers utilizing efficient parallel processing architecture, detailed computer simulations ofhydraulics have become feasible. However, the ability to validate these high fidelity models haslagged behind the model development. The proposed research program will utilize results andexperience gained from prior flow distribution studies in combination with the extensive X-rayexpertise of General Electric to develop a technique for validating these modern state-of-the-arthydraulic models. Successful completion of the project will produce a technology withapplicability to a host of industrial processes and will make a major contribution to the basicunderstanding of fluid flow phenomena.

基于X射线的传质接触器流场可视化在广泛的工业应用中，流体流动会影响过程系统的性能。分离设备、化学反应器、生物接触器、发酵容器和传热装置都受水力现象的支配。从历史上看，流场的模型充其量是高度经验性的。随着利用高效并行处理结构的高速计算机的出现，详细的水力学计算机模拟已经成为可能。然而，验证这些高保真模型的能力已经落后于模型的发展。拟议的研究计划将利用先前的流量分配研究的结果和经验，结合通用电气公司广泛的X射线专业知识，开发一种技术，用于验证这些现代国家的arthydraulic模型。该项目的成功完成将产生一种适用于许多工业过程的技术，并将对流体流动现象的基本理解做出重大贡献。
