R. Roman et al., OXYGEN MASS-TRANSFER IN MECHANICALLY AGIT ATED BIOREACTORS .1. OXYGENMASS-TRANSFER IN SULFITE SYSTEM, Revista de chimie, 44(7), 1993, pp. 664-667
In the paper an empirical model for gas-liquid oxygen volumetric mass
transfer coefficient, K(L)a, determination in fully baffled stirred ta
nk bioreactors as a function of operating volume, V. and operating var
iables, P/V, N, V(S) was presented. The proposed model offers a good a
greement between the experimental and predicted values of K(L)a and ma
y he applied with a +/- 10 % maximum error.
