Bubble flow in trickle beds: investigations using resistive sensors

Effect of coalescence and breakup on bubble size distributions in a two-dimensional packed bed

“…The statistical studies of bubble number density and average bubble size in a two-dimensional packed-bed were performed by Benkrid et al (2002). Rode et al (2003) compared bubble size distribution, acquired by using resistive sensor, with that found by Benkrid et al (2002). The investigations by Benkrid et al (2002) and Rode et al (2003) were limited to low interaction flow regime of bubbly flow with only a few bubble interactions.…”

Recently, Jo and Revankar (2009) studied changes of bubble size distributions with gas and liquid superficial velocities under bubbly flow and transition regimes.…”
