چکیده

The hydrodynamics of an internal loop airlift bioreactor was investigated using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model with Eulerian description of the gas and liquid phases. The turbulent in the liquid phase was described using the k-ε model. The reactor operated with pure kerosene and diesel and 10% water in diesel microemulsion. Gas holdup were predicted for different superficial gas velocities and compared with experimental data. For comparison, simulation was also done with distilled water. The εg values of kerosene and diesel system were in most cases higher than the water system. Increase in the viscosity of the petroleum system resulted in decrease in the values of εg. The CFD model showed a good agreement with the experiment.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
