Abstract:A novel method to determine the flooding/loading transition point (N f ) was proposed based on the measurements of the bottom pressure. Experiments were carried out in an aerated vessel stirred with a Rushton impeller in single-phase and two-phase systems. The results showed that the bottom pressure (P) in the single-phase system had a parabolic decrease with the increasing impeller speed (N), which followed the Bernoulli Effect; the flooding/loading transition was defined by a sharp change in the P−N curve.
