Empirical relation between P gassed (PG) and P non gassed (Po) is given
as: Log(PG/Po) = -192 (Di/Dt)4.38 (Re)0.115 (Fr)0.653 (Na)
where Di is the impeller diameter and Dt is the tank diameter. Re, Fr and
Na are the Reynolds number, Froude number and the aeration number
respectively.
Also find out the KLa for oxygen absorption into water for the case of
aerated stirred tank.
Empirical relation for KLa is given as: KLa = 0.026 (PG/V)0.4 (Vs)0.5
where PG/V is the power to volume ratio and Vs is the superficial gas
velocity.
Q2. A bacterial fermentation was carried out in a reactor containing broth
with average density 1200 kg/m3 and viscosity 0.02 Ns/m2. The broth
was agitated at 90 rpm and air was introduced through the sparger at a
flow rate of 0.4 vvm. The fermenter was equipped with two sets of flat
