Distribution of gas bubbles and volumetric mass transfer coefficient, k L a in a three phase system with different types of solid particles at different operation conditions were studied in this paper. The ranges of superficial gas and liquid velocities used in this study were 0.03-0.09 m/s and 0-0.1 m/s, respectively. The three different types of solid particles were used as a bed in the column (glass, d p of 3 and 6 mm and ceramic, d p of 6 mm). The experiments were carried out in 2D plexiglas column, 278 mm×20.4 mm×500 mm, and in cylindrical plexiglas column with the diameter of 64 mm and hight of 2000 mm. The k L a coefficient increases with gas and liquid velocities. The results show that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient has higher values in three phase system with solid particles in comparison to two phase system. The particles' properties (diameter and density) have major impact on oxygen mass transfer in three phase systems.
The results of the chemical investigations of variously treated acorn samples are presented in this paper with the aim of obtaining data on the amount of nutritious components and biologically active substances. The Quercus robur acorn, which belongs to the Fagaceae family, was investigated in a raw, thermally treated form and as an extract that was subsequently dried in a dryer with a fluidized bed. The obtained results regarding the content of tannin, nitrogen containing compounds, macro- and microelements indicate that acorn maintains its functional characteristics after the investigated treatments
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
