Residence Time Distribution Measurements in a Pulsed Baffled Tube Bundle
Experimental flow pattern and associated residence time distribution measurements are reported for a tube bundle where periodic baffles and fluid oscillation may be present. When there is no fluid oscillation, high Reynolds number flow conditions are required to give sharp residence time distributions. When baffles are present, fluid oscillation can give sharp residence time distributions for modest low net flow Reynolds numbers. These observations extend our previous results and also show the viability of the system, for example in use as a reactor or heat exchanger where a multi-tube configuration might be required.
