Abstract
Experimental measurements of gas phase hold up in two phase gas-liquid cocu rrent upflow packed bed reactors have been made at very low gas ((N-Re)(g) < 55) as well as liquid ((N-Re)(l) < 8) velocities using air-water systems with two different types of packing materials. The gas hold up values thus obtained are correlated in terms of Re-g, Re-l and epsilon, the voidage.
