Design parameters estimations for bubble column reactors

Abstract

Abstract Gas‐liquid as well as gas‐liquid‐solid bubble column reactors are extensively used in the chemical industry. This review evaluates the present state of the art for the estimation of “nonadjustable” parameters in bubble column reactors. All the pertinent literature concerning these parameters is discussed and the discussion is followed by relevant recommendations for their predictions. Literature on the modified bubble columns has been incorporated. Finally, the inadeqacies of the data in some areas of practical importance have been pointed out and the recommendations for future work are outlined.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In pneumatically agitated photobioreactors, one can expect gas-liquid flow in the (pseudo-) homogeneous regime, characterized by a narrow bubble size distribution and a small impact of bubble break-up and coalescence.

    “Referring to the flow maps provided by Shah et al. [70] and Zhang et al. [71], one can expect gas-liquid flow in the (pseudo-) homogeneous regime, which is characterized by a narrow bubble size distribution and a small impact of bubble break-up and coalescence.”
  • Flow regime maps provide an indication at given operating conditions for selecting the most suitable approach.

    “For the selection of the most suitable approach, one should consider the flow regime maps [70,71], since they provide an indication at given operating conditions.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
