Air lift pump driving force

In Fig. 1.1, the pressure at point A will be greater than the pressure at point B. It s true that the height of liquid in the riser tube is double the height of water in the tank. But because of the bubbles of air in the riser tube, the density of the mixed phase fluid in the riser is small compared to the density of water. The pressure difference between points A and point B is called the "air lift pump driving force." Water flows from an area of higher hydrostatic head pressure (at A) to an area of less hydrostatic head pressure (at B). Using more air, reduces the density in the riser tube. This lowers the pressure at point B. The... [Pg.2]
