Hello
I was wondering what is best way to specify the inlet boundary condition for bubble columns with ring sparger. The options are:
In literature I have reviewed so far, option 1 seems mostly ( rather universally) popular, though difficult to implement in my case due to lack of availability of data. Option 2 is theoretical simplification and discards any geometrical influence and there is no evidence of this being appropriate in the literature. Option 3 seems so obvious choice, but I am yet to find a publication that mentions the use of mass flow rate at inlet. Quite surprising. Any ideas about which may be the best way? Regards OJ |
