BACKGROUND: Investigations of hold up (Ξ΅ g ) and interfacial area (a) in cylindrical bubble columns have been reported extensively but reported similar investigations in tapered bubble columns are sparse in the existing literature. Thus the current article reports the experimental determination of Ξ΅
Bubble column reactors are widely used in the fields of petrochemical, biochemical, and chemical engineering processes. They are comparable to other multiphase reactors because of their simplicity, low operating costs, and higher heat and mass transfer coefficients between phases. Since a continuous
## Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to compare the hydrodynamics and mass transfer of an internal airlift reactor with that of a bubble column reactor, operating with an air/water system in the homogeneous bubble flow regime. The liquid circulation velocities are significantly hi
