## Abstract The influence of polymer additives upon the gas‐liquid mass transfer in stirred tanks is examined. While the addition of sodium carboxymethyl‐cellulose brings about a reduction of the overall liquid side mass transport coefficient which is in line with the predictions by earlier works,

The influence of antifoam agents on the liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient in stirred tank and bubble column bioreactors is studied. A physical model based on a surface-renewal concept and additional data in 40-dm 3 bubble column bioreactor are presented. Comparisons between the physical model a
In Part I of the article there were reported profound differences in behaviour between the bottom and the upper stages of a multiple-impeller vessel under gassed conditions: the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kLa, for the bottom stage was by up to 50% lower than that for the upper stages. A p
The flow properties of the employed aqueous solutions of xanthan and polyacrylamide (PAA) are shown in Fig. . Viscosity, q , and Weissenberg number Wi are plotted against the shear rate in Figs lb and la, respectively. The Weissenberg number
