LIQUID-PHASE MIXING IN A MULTISTAGE VIBRATING-DISK COLUMN WITH CONCURRENT GAS-LIQUID FLOW

Abstract

The liquid-phase mixing characteristics of a multistage vibrating-disk column with a concurrent gas-liquid flow are studied by means of a step response method and a moment analysis. The mixing characteristics can be expressed by the back-flow model. The model parameter (the back-flow ratio) is well correlated by a dimensionless equation of the experimental variables. The correlation is definitely affected by the wave form of the disk vibration.
