E. coli Inactivation Kinetics Modeling in a Taylor-Couette UV Disinfection Reactor

A simple model was developed to predict the survival behavior of E. coli subjected to UV disinfection in a Taylor-Couette reactor. The model includes the CFD evaluation of the counterrotating toroidal vortices developed within the annular space of two coaxial cylinders. The UV lamp was located withi...
