Notes:
Bubble properties in stirred tank bioreactors equipped with standard radial flow Rushton turbines have been investigated. Bubble velocity patterns within a stirred tank reactor were derived from measured local bubble velocity distributions. Local information on specific interfacial areas, bubble number densities and bubble diameters together with local gas hold-ups, measured in a model medium at gas flow rates which are employed in practice, is presented. All measurements were performed with two new ultrasound pulse techniques which can be used in model as well as during real cultivation processes.
