Investigations In Hydrodynamics And Mixing Pattern In The Bubble Column Equipped With Internals, Keller J H George

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Bubble column reactors, with or without solid particles, have a number of applications in the chemical, petrochemical, biochemical and environmental industries. A number of these industrial applications require internals such as baffles, heat transfer surfaces and special distributors to meet demands. Proper selection and design of these internals can lead to the improved performance and efficiency of a bubble column reactor. Several experiments are carried out in a bubble column equipped with a concentric tube bundle (CT) and an internal combination consisting of a concentric tube bundle and concentric baffle (or static mixer) (CTB) respectively. Neutrally buoyant particles are used …
