Gas-liquid mass transfer, interfacial area

In this chapter, we study various correlations for gas-liquid mass transfer, interfacial area, bubble size, gas hold-up, agitation power consumption, and volumetric mass-transfer coefficient, which are vital tools for the design and operation of fermenter systems. Criteria for the scale-up and shear sensitive mixing are also presented. First of all, let s review basic mass-transfer concepts important in understanding gas-liquid mass transfer in a fermentation system. 

Correlations are next reported for gas-liquid mass transfer, interfacial area, bubble size, gas hold-up, agitation power consumption, and volumetric mass-transfer coefficients, which are vital tools for the design and operation of fermenter systems.
