Influence of Hydrodynamic Flow Regimes on the Prediction of Gas Hold-up and Liquid Circulation in Airlift Reactors

The influence of the recently identified hydrodynamic flow regimes on the prediction of gas hold-up and liquid circulation velocity in airlift reactors has been investigated. Some hydrodynamic models based on momentum balance are considered. Experiments were conducted on a pilot plant, external loop...
