This paper presents a literature review on the mechanisms and models of coalescence of
fluid particles. For the mechanisms, five categories are summarized, namely, turbulence …

This paper presents a literature review on mechanisms and models for the breakage of
bubbles and drops (fluid particles) in turbulent dispersions. For the mechanisms, four …

With the dramatic increase in the international oil price, gas-to-liquid processes of Fischer−
Tropsch (FT) synthesis, methanol synthesis, and dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis have …

Gas–liquid mass transfer in a bubble column in both the homogeneous and heterogeneous
flow regimes was studied by numerical simulations with a CFD–PBM (computation fluid …

A computational fluid dynamics–population balance model (CFD‐PBM) coupled model was
developed that combines the advantages of CFD to calculate the entire flow field and of the …

Photography and capillary suction probe were used to measure local bubble size
distributions (BSDs) from Rushton turbine agitated (14/200L) air–tap water and CO2–n …

With reaction timescales equal to or shorter than the circulation time, the ideal mixing
assumption typically does not hold for large scale bioreactors. As a consequence large …

The mechanisms and modeling concepts proposed in the literature for the fluid particle (ie,
bubble and drops) breakage phenomena in laminar and turbulent dispersions are …

Oxygen supply in aerobic bioprocesses is of crucial importance. For this reason, this paper
presents the oxygen demand of different cells and summarizes experimental and numerical …

Bubbly flow is a prototypical two-phase flow problem. The dynamic behavior of bubbles
within a reactor is intrinsically linked to their transport, distribution, and mass transfer, all of …
