Abstract :
A modified three-dimensional dispersion model of our previous works was modified and used to investigate the effect of droplet size distribution in addition to droplet concentration distribution for the prediction of liquid droplet dispersion and particulate removal efficiency in a venturi type scrubber. For the sake of including droplet size distribution into the model properly, it was assumed that droplet size distribution obeys Rosin-Rammler distribution. The experimental data of Viswanathan et. al. [1] for liquid droplet dispersion and Brink and Contant [2] for particle removal efficiency were used to test the results of this new mathematical model. The results from the model show that by taking droplet size distribution into account the results of the model will be in better agreement with the experimental data.
