Mass transfer to volumetric electrodes with two-phase flow

Experimental studies of mass transfer were conducted in stacked screens with a gas-liquid mixture flowing through the bed. Depending on the gas and liquid flow rates and on the geometric characteristics of the screens, different flow regimes are obtained. In the heterogeneous flow regime the gas pha...

Sumario:Experimental studies of mass transfer were conducted in stacked screens with a gas-liquid mixture flowing through the bed. Depending on the gas and liquid flow rates and on the geometric characteristics of the screens, different flow regimes are obtained. In the heterogeneous flow regime the gas phase controls mass transfer, meanwhile in the transition and bubbling flow regimes the influence of the liquid flow prevails. Appropriate dimensionless groups correlate the mass transfer coefficients with the pertinent variables for the different regimes. © 1989 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
