Influence of properties of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon on the bubble size distribution in a gas/liguidphase reactor

Abstract

This work concerns the field of chemical reaction engineering and petrochemical engineering.
The stated problem of a project on properties of gas/ Liquid systems, mainly different
petrochemical Liquids and their behavior in a bubble column reactor is solved with success. It is
estimated values for specific area and gas hold up as functions of superficial gas velocity for
various aromatic and hydro aromatic hydrocarbon. These functions has been calculated from bubble
size probability functions, which has been estimated from photographs of bubble column reactor;
It is measured and counted gas bubbles with the aid of an optical- mechanical particle
size analyst or; and it is calculated with an small electronic digital computer, the l st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th moments of the bubble size probability functions. The goal of the investigations of these
series is to find functions for the prediction of specific areas for gas/ Liquid mass transfer calculations'
which is necessary in this formal:

Where is:
Amount of mass, transferred in the time unit.
F= Specific area of mass transfer from one phase to another.
C=The difference of concentration between the limits of the phase and in the phase.
= Mass transfer Factor.
This research is for the determination of dimensions of chemical mass transfer reactors and
absorbers and although for the determination of optimum condition of chemical reaction.
It is although tried to find a relation between the specific area or the moments of the
bubble size distribution functions and the physical or chemical properties of some - important
technical and petrochemical products, like benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexen, cyclohexen,
tetralin and decalin.
