Abstract

Local two-point conductivity probe and film-thickness probes were developed for measurement of two-phase flow parameters in a packed bed containing spherical packing. The probes were calibrated and installed in a packed bed with minimal flow disturbance. A flush and two parallel wire film-thickness probes were used to measure the liquid film thickness on the packing. The conductivity probe and impedance meter were used to measure local and bed wise void fraction, respectively, for trickle, wavy, transitional, pulsing, and bubbly flow.
