Mass Transfer Characteristics of Fluidfoil Impellers

Experiments made with the sulfite oxidation technique evaluate the overall KqO relationship for radial flow turbines and a very typical curve, shown in Fig. 3 8a gives the value of versus power and various gas rates. 

It is very difficult to study the effect of fluidfoil impellers in the pilot plant since the pilot plant in general has much shorter blend time and a much more uniform blending composition than appears in the full scale tank. Thus, putting fluidfoil impellers in the pilot plant improves the blending under a situation where the blending is already much improved over full scale performance.
