Numerical techniques frequently used for the simulation of one bubble can be classified as interface tracking techniques and interface capturing techniques. Most of these techniques calculate both the flow around the bubble and the shape of the interface between the gas and the liquid with one code. In this paper, a rising axisymmetric bubble is simulated with an interface tracking technique th...

Gas-liquid membrane contactors offer several practical advantages including high surface area per unit volume; independent control of gas and liquid velocities without any flooding, loading, weeping, or foaming, pre-determined gas–liquid interfacial area, membrane modules, capability of linear scale-up; low corrosion problems, and low operation and capital costs. Two common types of membrane co...

A novel multiple-airlifting membrane bioreactor is built with four sintered stainless steel tubular filters as the risers and downcomers. This work investigates the hydrodynamics including gas holdup, liquid velocity, liquid circulation and mixing times by aerating different number of risers (one to three) at superficial gas velocities of 0.02–0.07m/s The mass transfer phenomena, including oxyg...

In a liquid containing gas bubbles the speed of sound is less tham that in each phase separately. Using the equations of motion for a hõmogeneous liquid containing gas bubbles it is shown that the dominating attenuation of an infinitesimal disturbance is that due to the second viscosity. In the propagation of a finite compressive disturbance an expression for the time required for the disturban...

Identification of routine mycobacterial isolates by gas-liquid chromatography profile analysis was performed on 335 strains received at the Mayo Clinic over a 10-month period. Comparison of identification by gas-liquid chromatography versus conventional biochemical profiles was made. The two methods agreed on the identification of 320 isolates, with gas-liquid chromatography profiling making ei...

beginning with a discussion of energy and exergy analysis definitions, the presented study provides a descriptive mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis for a co-current gas cooling tower. for this purpose using conservation laws of mass, energy and momentum, the variation of temperature and enthalpy of gas and liquid streams are predicted along the tower length and are used in order...
