“…The experiments were camed out using an airwater mixture. After the check valve, the injection line bifurcated ans was connected at the bottom of the pipe at two opposite points, which ensured radial uniformity of tracer distribution at the inlet of the cone (Borole et al, 1993). A saturated sodium chloride (NaCI) solution was used as a tracer and was injected by a single pulse for evaluating the mixing.…”

“…The injection line had a check valve near the actual injection point which prevented backflow of the tracer. After the check valve, the injection line bifurcated ans was connected at the bottom of the pipe at two opposite points, which ensured radial uniformity of tracer distribution at the inlet of the cone (Borole et al, 1993).…”

Mixing behavior of the two phase air‐water turbulent flow in a jet bubble column is examined. The time evolution of the mixing behavior of a liquid tracer in a turbulent air‐water flow within a jet bubble column is predicted using a model based on the fundamental governing equations of fluid motion. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental measurements. Measured residence time distributions (RTD) of the liquid tracer within the cone agree well with the predicted values given by the model. For the range of parameters considered in the study, lack of radial mixing and large axial mixing are evident within the cone of the jet bubble column. Use of fundamental mathematical models for the study of hydrodynamics in a two‐phase conventional bubble column has been reported earlier (Torvik, 1990; Jakobsen et al., 1993). The present paper extends the use of such models to predict the mixing characteristics in a jet bubble column.
