The Clinic team has been asked to further the understanding of the physics of entrained water separation devices. To do so, the team designed a device to remove entrained water from the exit air stream of a heat exchanger. In order to better understand its impact on separator design, the characterization of the entrained liquid flow was also carried out via optical drop-sizing.
