Abstract~Gas hold-up structure in aerated viscous media ~ > 0.1 Pa s), which is distinctively characterised by a nearly bimodal bubble size distribution, has been investigated in an impeller agitated reactor having a standard geometric configuration. Experiments were performed with aqueous solutions

β¦ Synopsis
The study relates to the mass transfer and the bubble size in a non standard vessel equipped with various dual-impeller combinations. The effects of the rotational speed, gas flow rate, impeller type and diameter are investigated. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa and the bubble size dbs were studied. The liquid side mass transfer coefficient kL and the volumetric interfacial area a were estimated separately. A comparison has been made with some existing correlations.
L'Ctude porte sur 1'Ctude de la taille et la distribution de la taille des bulles ainsi que le transfert de matitre gaz-liquide dans des systtmes Cquip6s de deux mobiles d'agitation. Les effets de la vitesse d'agitation, du d6bit gazeux et du type d'agitdteur ont CtC mis en evidence.

A model was developed for the determination of volumetric mass transfer coefficients which combines penetration theory with instantaneous reaction. The two major criteria to be met are that the reaction is instantaneous compared to the diffusion and that the gas-film resistance is negligible. By mai
## Abstract There are a large number of correlations given in literature for the prediction of volumeβrelated liquidβside mass transfer coefficients in mechanically agitated gasβliquid contactors. Significant disagreement can be observed concerning the proposed correlations, so that no single corre
