A new method of eddy diffusivity calculation for droplets of a Venturi scrubber
An analytical model using eddy diffusivity is applied for predicting droplet concentration distribution and liquid film formation in a Venturi scrubber. By comparing experimental data of film formation reported in literature (Viswanathan et al., 1984) and the results obtained from this model, a semi-empirical correlation for liquid droplets eddy diffusivity is obtained. The validity of this correlation is confirmed by obtaining good agreement between theoretical and experimental data of droplet concentration distribution and film formation in a Venturi scrubber (Viswanathan, 1998; Viswanathan et al., 1984).
