) .Only a postulation of behavior can be made for this region of flow. It may be that the rate of increase in holdup exceeds the rate of increase in area and surface renewal resulting in an over-all It has long been known that aqueous complex systems with volatile ligands, C, H. &fuei&I j. q with E, 1. du Pant de Selke is with Peter J.

Systems of this type are becoming increasingly important in the metallurgical industry. In order to study the behavior of such systems and develop Vol. 7, No. 1 A.1.Ch.E. Journal Washington 2.5, D.
