Gas hold

This form is partieularly appropriate when the gas is of low solubility in the liquid and "liquid film resistanee" eontrols the rate of transfer. More eomplex forms whieh use an overall mass transfer eoeffieient whieh ineludes the effeets of gas film resistanee must be used otherwise. Also, if ehemieal reaetions are involved, they are not rate limiting. The approaeh given here, however, illustrates the required ealeulation steps. The nature of the mixing or agitation primarily affeets the interfaeial area per unit volume, a. The liquid phase mass transfer eoeffieient, kL, is primarily a funetion of the physieal properties of the fluid. The interfaeial area is determined by the size of the gas bubbles formed and how long they remain in the mixing vessel. The size of the bubbles is normally expressed in terms of their Sauter mean diameter, dj, whieh is defined below. How long the bubbles remain is expressed in terms of gas hold-up, H, the fraetion of the total fluid volume (gas plus liquid) whieh is oeeupied by gas bubbles. [Pg.472]

To apply the mass transfer equation for design, the interfacial area, a, and mass transfer coefficient kL must be calculated. The interfacial area is dependent upon the bubble size and gas hold-up in the mixing vessel as given by ... [Pg.473]

At constant pressure, the water content of the inlet gas increases as the inlet gas temperature increases. For example, at 1.000 psia and SO F gas holds about 34 Ib/MMscf, while at 1,000 psia and 120 it will hold about 104 Ib/MMscf. At the higher temperature, the glycol will have to... [Pg.205]

The flue gas exits the cyclones to a plenum chamber in the top of the regenerator. The hot flue gas holds an appreciable amount of energy. Various heat recovery schemes are used to recover this energy. In some units, the flue gas is sent to a CO boiler where both the sensible and combustible heat are used to generate high-pressure steam. In other units, the flue gas is exchanged with boiler feed water to produce steam via the use of a shell/tube or box heat exchanger. [Pg.17]

Fig.2 and Fig.3 show the typical liquid velocity and gas hold up distribution in the ALR. From the figures, one notices that the cyclohexane circulates in the ALR under the density difference between the riser and the downcomer. An apparent large vortex appears near the air sparger when the circulating liquid flows fi om the downcomer to the riser at the bottom. In the riser, liquid velocity near the draft-tube is much larger than that near the reactor wall, the latter moved somewhat downward. The gas holdup is nonuniform in the reactor, most gas exists in the riser while only a little appears in the dowmcomer. [Pg.526]

In the Fig.4, it can be seen that the gas hold-up in both riser and downcomer decreases with increasing the draft-tube horn-mouth diameter and approaches the maximum when the draft-tube hom-mouth diameter is 1.05m. However, due to the gas hold-up decreases more in the downcomer, the gas hold-up difference between the downcomer and the riser increases. Therefore, the apparent density difference between the riser and the downcomer enhances, causing higher liquid superficial velocity in the downcomer and in the riser With increasing the hom-mouth diameter. Fig.5 also shows that the existence of hom-mouth promotes the ability to separate gas from liquid and decreases the amount of gas entrained into the downcomer. [Pg.526]

Eulerian two-fluid model coupled with dispersed itequations was applied to predict gas-liquid two-phase flow in cyclohexane oxidation airlift loop reactor. Simulation results have presented typical hydrodynamic characteristics, distribution of liquid velocity and gas hold-up in the riser and downcomer were presented. The draft-tube geometry not only affects the magnitude of liquid superficial velocity and gas hold-up, but also the detailed liquid velocity and gas hold-up distribution in the reactor, the final construction of the reactor lies on the industrial technical requirement. The investigation indicates that CFD of airlift reactors can be used to model, design and scale up airlift loop reactors efficiently. [Pg.528]

The presence of a gas in the suspension results in an increase of the stirrer speed required to establish the state of complete suspension. The propeller usually requires a higher speed than the turbine. Furthermore, a critical volume gas flow exists above which drastic sedimentation of particles occurs. Hence, homogenisation of the suspension requires an increase of the rotational speed and/or a decrease of the gas flow rate. The hydrodynamics of suspensions with a solid fraction exceeding 0.25-0.3 becomes very complex because such suspensions behave like non-Newtonian liquids. This produces problems in the scale-up of operations. Hydrodynamics, gas hold-up, mass-transfer coefficients, etc. have been widely studied and many correlations can be found in literature (see e.g. Shah, 1991). [Pg.354]

A well-substantiated correlation for air-water systems taken from the trickle bed literature (Morsi and Charpentier, 1981) was used for the volumetric mass transfer coefficients in the / , and (Rewap)i terms in the model. The hi term was taken from a correlation of Kirillov et al. (1983), while the liquid hold-up term a, in Eqs. (70), (71), (74), (77), and (79) were estimated from a hold-up model of Specchia and Baldi (1977). All of these correlations require the pressure drop per unit bed length. The correlation of Rao and Drinkenburg (1985) was employed for this purpose. Liquid static hold-up was assumed invariate and a literature value was used. Gas hold-up was obtained by difference using the bed porosity. [Pg.259]

Both reactions are slow compared to the film diffusion in the liquid phase13-15. Hence, the reactions can be assumed to take place predominantly in the bulk phase of the liquid. The rate of mass transfer can be calculated using Equation 7.2. The interfacial concentration can be calculated using Henry Law. Mass transfer coefficients, interfacial area and gas hold-up data are required. Gas hold-up is defined as ... [Pg.137]

The draft-tube airlift bioreactor was studied using water-in-kerosene microemulsions [263], The effect of draft tube area vs. the top-section area on various parameters was studied. The effect of gas flow rates on recirculation and gas carry over due to incomplete gas disengagement were studied [264], Additionally, the effect of riser to downcomer volume was also studied. The effect of W/O ratio and viscosity was tested on gas hold-up and mass transfer coefficient [265], One limitation of these studies was the use of plain water as the aqueous phase in the cold model. The absence of biocatalyst or any fermentation broth from the experiments makes these results of little value. The effect of the parameters studied will greatly depend on the change in viscosity, hold-up, phase distribution caused due to the presence of biocatalyst, such as IGTS8, due to production of biosurfactants, etc., by the biocatalyst. Thus, further work including biocatalyst is necessary to truly assess the utility of the draft-tube airlift bioreactor for biodesulfurization. [Pg.129]
