Abstract
Wall-to-bed mass transfer coefficients were computed from
limiting current measurements made at inner surface of
outer cylinder. Glass spheres of three different diameters viz.,
3.13, 4.57 and 6.29 mm were used as bed material. An
electrolyte belonging to ferricyanide-ferrocyanide redox
system has been employed as the liquid phase. In order to
investigate the effect of a change in viscosity carboxy methyl
cellulose sodium salt (CMC) was used. Twisted tapes of
different pitches and widths were employed as internal
elements. The experimental study revealed that the presence
of twisted tapes in the fluidized bed brought an
augmentation of 25 fold over homogeneous flow and 115%
over fluidized bed. It was also found that the effect of pitch
on mass transfer coefficient was insignificant. The mass
transfer coefficient data increased with increment in tape
width and particle diameter and decreased with the rise of
CMC concentration. The mass transfer coefficient data
obtained from the present experiment were correlated to
acquire an equation in jD-Re format using least squares
regression analysis.
