Liquid-phase mixing in churn-turbulent bubble columns

A physically realistic description of liquid mixing is necessary for the proper design and scale-up of bubble columns. Currently, liquid-phase mixing is almost exclusively described by the one-dimensional axial dispersion model which lacks a sound physical basis. A new phenomenological model of liquid-phase backmixing in churn-turbulent bubble columns has been proposed. This model divides the system into two regions. The first region is a gas-rich region that rises rapidly through the column transporting liquid to various points in the system. The second region is a relatively stagnant, gas-lean region that is vigorously agitated by the passage of the gas-rich region. Evaluation of most of the model parameters by physical reasoning reduces the proposed model to a one-parameter model.
