The Bubble Column Performance Can Change Significantly as a Result of Flow Regime Change. Since Reactor Volume Productivity, Mass and Heat Transfer as Well as Mixing Are Affected by the Prevailing Flow Regime, It is Very Important to Know How to Identify It. in This Work, Flow Regime Identification Was Performed on the Basis of the Kolmogorov Entropy (KE) Algorithm Applied to Nuclear Gauge Densitometry Data. in Addition, the Average Cycle Time Was Used for Validation of the Results. Three Transition Velocities Were Identified that Delineated the Boundaries of the Three Main Hydrodynamic Regimes. the First Two Transition Points Were …

The Kolmogorov Entropy (KE) Algorithm Was Applied Successfully to Single Source Γ-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) Data Measured in a 0.162 M ID Bubble Column Equipped with a Perforated Plate Distributor (163 Holes · Ø 1.32 Mm). Dried Air Was Used as the Gas Phase and Therminol LT (ΡL = 886 Kg M-3, ΜL = 0.88 · 10-3 Pa S, Σ = 17 · 10-3 N M-1) Was Used as a Liquid Phase. Three Different Pressures, P, of 0.1, 0.4, and 1.0 MPa Were Examined. at Each Pressure the Superficial Gas Velocity, UG, Was Increased Stepwise by Steps of 0.01 Ms-1 …

Experiments Carried Out to Study the Liquid Displacements in Bubble Columns Via the Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking Technique Are Analyzed by Means of Lagrangian and Qualitative Dynamics Tools. the Lagrangian Approach Yields the Detailed Motion Sequences of the Tracer as Entrained by the Fast Ascending Bubbles or by the Liquid Flow Alongside the Column Walls. the Qualitative Dynamics Tools, on the Other Hand, Provide Prima Facie Corroboration of Chaos in Liquid Motion based on an Analysis of the Volume-Averaged Kolmogorov Entropy and the Mutual Information Function. Other Features of the Chaotic Motion, the Reconstructed Attractors and the Radial and …

Gas Holdup and its Profile Are Important Parameters to Be Characterized in Bubble Column Reactors. Proper Prediction of the Radial Gas Holdup Profiles is Necessary for Determining Liquid Mixing, Flow Regime Transition, Heat and Mass Transfer. in This Study, the Following Gas Holdup Profile Form, Which Can Be Fitted to the Observed Holdup Profiles, is Proposed: EG = EG (N + 2/n + 2 - 2c) [1 - C(R/R)n]. the Parameters N and C Needed to Describe the Gas Holdup Profile Are Correlated with Appropriate Dimensionless Groups. N = 2.188 X 103 ReG-0.598 Frg0.146 MoL-0.004, C = 4.32 X 10-2 …

The Liquid Flow and Mixing Behavior in Bubble Columns is Partially Described by Means of Global Liquid Recirculation Velocity Profile. Due to the Complex Character of the Flow in Bubble Columns, the Prediction of the Axial Liquid Circulation is Still a Difficult Task. in This Work, the Following Correlation is Proposed for the Liquid Recirculation Profile: VLO/ VL(R)= 1 - 2.65 * N0.44 * C[R/r] 2.65, N0.442,c , Where N and C Are the Gas Radial Holdup Profile Parameters Evaluated by the Correlations Proposed by Wu, Ong and Al-Dahhan (Chemical Engineering Science, 56 (2001) 1207-1210). N = 2.188 X 103 …
