Some Effects of Particle Wettability in Agitated Solid‐Gas‐Liquid Systems: Gas‐Liquid Mass Transfer and the Dispersion of Floating Solids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Two‐ and three‐phase systems have been studied using particles that are water‐wetted and denser than water and with similar sized, small floating particles, both wetted and non‐wetted. The parameters investigated have been the agitator speed required to disperse the different types of particles under sparged and non‐sparged conditions and rates of gas‐liquid mass transfer. With the wetted, dense particles, only at concentrations of > ∼20% w/w did the k L a fall significantly (by ∼20 to 30%) whilst solid suspension followed the trends of earlier work. With the less dense particles, even with < ∼1% w/w that were not wetted, it was very difficult to disperse them throughout the liquid phase, though up‐pumping impellers were more effective than radial. In addition, bubble size significantly increased and k L a fell by a factor of 2 to 3. With the wetted, less dense ones up to 2% w/w, uniform dispersion was achieved even at much lower speeds and k L a did not change compared to the case without solids.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
