✦ Synopsis


The paper considers the problems of predicting and correlating gas and liquid hold-ups in-three-phase fluidised beds. It is proposed that Stewart's model, which contains a single unknown parameter k (the mean liquid-wake/bubble volu_me ratio in the bed), should be used in conjunction with Wallis' drift flux approach. Experiments show that k decreases with increasing mean bubble volume in the bed, in a similar way that k decreases with bubble volume for single bubbles. An empirical correlation fdr E is suggested. A plot of gas drift flux as a function of gas hold-up reveals the uniform bubbling and churn-turbulent types of behaviour familiar in gas-liquid two-phase flow. Worked examples illustrate methods of predicting hold-up and bed contraction.

In the present study, in mechanically agitated gasÈliquid contactors (MAC), a generalized correlation for the direct estimation of dispersed gas phase hold-up is proposed. This present proposed new correlation in terms of fundamental operating variables, involving gas velocity, impeller speed in ter
