Abstract:Knowledge of the heat transfer coefficient is an essential prerequisite for any industrial gas/ liquid bubble column reactor design. In this paper, experiments were carried out in a laboratory scale bubble column using air-water and 10wt% glycerin-air solution systems. Experimental values of the heat transfer coefficient were compared with some of the previous published correlations and were also compared with the model predicted by ANN in our previous work (Ahmedzeki, 2007). The ANN model was found to be bett… Show more
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.
