A New Method For Online Flow Regime Monitoring In Bubble Column Reactors Via Nuclear Gauge Densitometry, Ashfaq Shaikh, Muthanna H. Al-Dahhan

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In the Current Work, Nuclear Gauge Densitometry (NGD), Which is Commercially Available and Industrially Used for Liquid/slurry Level Measurement and Control, Has Been Employed to Identify Fingerprints of the Prevailing Hydrodynamic Flow Regime. Experiments Were Performed using an Air-Water System in 0.1012. M Diameter and 1.2. M Long Bubble Column at Ambient Pressure. the Superficial Gas Velocities Were Varied from 1. Cm/s to 12. Cm/s with an Interval of 0.5. Cm/s Near Transition Region. the Flow Regime Boundaries Were Defined using the Conventional Methods of Flow Regime Demarcation Such as the Change in the Slope of the overall Gas Holdup …
