Model fundamentals for the design of three-phase loop reactors

  • Chapter
Book cover Bubbly Flows

Part of the book series: Heat and Mass Transfer ((HMT))

Abstract

Loop reactors under multi phase operation are distinguished by low-maintenance and usually economically and ecologically advantageous operating conditions and thus have abroad spectrum of applications in chemical as well as biotechnological industries. Nevertheless, the design of these reactors is currently based on in accurate physical and mathematical models. The interactions found in three-phase flows, which can result, e.g., in both an increase and a decrease in gas-void fraction due to an increase in solids-void fraction, have been explained phenomeno logically in recent experiments and a reschematically shown in Fig. 1.
