Turbulent Measurements in Chlorine Contact Tank

  • Chapter

Abstract

Turbulence measurements in a serpentine chlorine contact tank have been carried out using a two component laser Doppler anemometer for velocity. Mean velocities, turbulent intensities and Reynolds stresses have been presented. Concentration variations with time and space have also been obtained using two fluorometers. A detailed investigation of the flow structure in the tank inlet region shows the existence of free shear turbulent mixing, wall jet mixing and dead zones. Also the flow is nearly uniform and the concentration is almost the Gaussian distribution over the second half of the tank. The dispersion coefficient was obtained.
