The Backmixing-Diffusion Concept for Mass Transport Phenomena of Pineapple Juice Extraction Using a Reversing Continuous Countercurrent Extractor
نویسنده
چکیده
A backmixing-diffusion model was developed and proposed to describe the mass transport in a reversing continuous countercurrent extractor (RCCE) at steady-state condition. Three variables namely draft, retention time, and extraction temperature were studied according to various experimental trials. Equilibrium distribution coefficient and solute diffusivity were important parameters introduced to predict concentration profiles for both liquid and solid phases. It was found that backmixing-diffusion concept can be applied through the studied range of operation time. The differences between experimental data and the predictions for concentration profiles were due to the variations in Biot number and Peclet number along the length of extraction unit. Nevertheless, the simulation was successful for pineapple juice extraction process.

متن کاملMulti-fluid model applied to calculate backmixing and mass transfer in bubble columns
For the calculation of reactive flows in bubble columns the local interfacial area is one of the key parameters. In addition backmixing causes a residence time distribution in the gas and liquid phase, thus mixing phenomena have to be considered as well. The three-dimensional, instationary flow fields in bubble columns are numerically calculated using an Euler multi-fluid model. The resulting s...
