Gas hold-up in a three-phase reciprocating plate column

Gas hold-up and bubble diameters in a gassed oscillatory ba'ed column

In this paper attempts are made to address how bubble behaviour in a batch oscillatory ba'ed column (OBC) contributes to the overall measured enhancement in mass transfer. A CCD camera is used to measure the bubble size distribution and the gas hold-up in the OBC. The experimental results of Sauter mean diameter and gas hold-up are correlated as a function of the power dissipation and super5cia...

Investigation of Effective Parameters on Phase Inversion Hold-up in Continuous Mixer-settler

In this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. The results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. It also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

Investigation of Gas Hold-up and Bubble Behavior in a Split-Cylinder Airlift Reactor: Pseudo-Plastic Non-Newtonian Fluids

Gas Hold-up Characteristics of an External Loop Airlift Contactor

Conventional airlift contactor (UT-ALC) was modified to improve its performance. The modified system (CDT-ALC) was tested for gas hold-up characteristics. Hydrodynamic environment depends on gas hold-up. New system reported 50 % higher gas hold-up. Linear relation between superficial gas velocity and fractional gas hold-up were developed from experimental data for both the reactors.

Heat Transfer in Three-Dimensional Flow along a Porous Plate

An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...
