PBM-CFD Investigation of the Gas Holdup and Mass Transfer in a Lab-Scale Internal Loop Airlift Reactor

This paper investigated the problem of overall gas holdup and the oxygen mass transfer in the internal loop airlift reactor by numerical modeling and experimental validation. The population balance model (PBM) was introduced as the general model to characterize the bubble behaviors, i.e., bubble bre...
