R. Pohorecki et al., HYDRODYNAMICS OF GAS BUBBLING IN A PILOT COLUMN AT ELEVATED PRESSURE - I - GAS HOLD-UP AND INTERFACIAL AREA FOR THE NITROGEN-WATER SYSTEM, Inzynieria Chemiczna i Procesowa, 19(2), 1998, pp. 323-334
Measurements of gas hold-up for the nitrogen-water system were carried
out in a vertical pilot column 0.3 m in diameter and 4 m high. The pr
ocess parameters were varied in the ranges: temperature 30-160 degrees
C, pressure 0.1-1.1 MPa, dry gas flow rate 0.02-0.12 kg/(m(2).s). Mak
ing use of the experimental values of the gas hold-up and the experime
ntal values of bubble diameter [1] the values of interfacial area in a
pilot column were calculated.
