β¦ Synopsis
The conventional two-bubble-class model for bubble column reactors has been modified to account for interactions between the two bubble classes. It is shown that the modified model is more consistent with the observed residence time distribution in the gas phase than the conventional model. The results indicate that there is an intensive cross-mixing between the bubble phases. This study also reveals that the modified two-bubble-class model cannot be distinguished from the single-bubble-class model solely on the basis of the residence time distribution.

Gas holdup in bubble columns has been investigated over a wide range of operational and geometrical parameters. A criterion has been developed for the prediction of the transitional velocity from the homogeneous to heterogeneous flow regime. Correlations for gas holdup in both regimes are developed
