Influence of rotating magnetic field on gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient

Abstract

The main objective of these experiments was to study the oxygen mass transfer rate through the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (k L a) for an experimental set-up equipped with a rotating magnetic field (RMF) generator and various liquids. The experimental results indicated that k L a increased along the magnetic strength and the superficial gas velocity. Mathematical correlations defining the influence of the considered factors on k L a were proposed.
