New Correlations of Volumetric Liquid-Phase Mass Transfer Coefficients in Gas-Inducing Agitated Tank Reactors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Volumetric liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient (kLa) is one of the most important parameters for the evaluation of the performance of a gas-inducing agitated tank (GIAT). In this paper, two equations in terms of power input per unit liquid volume (P/VL) and relative gas dispersion parameter (NI/Ncd), respectively, are developed according to data in literature. They can correlate existing kLa values within ±20% of measured ones for bladed impellers with different impeller submergence to tank diameter ratios in the range of 0.5 -1.23. In order to validate these equations, the liquid phase mass transfer coefficients in a continuous GIAT equipped with a 4-blade straight impeller were measured by removal of oxygen from water. It was found that the equation in P/VL criterion could correlate kLa values within ±12% of the experimental data, and the equation in NI/Ncd criterion could correlate kLa values within ±15.6% with an exception of 26.8% for NI = 16.7 Hz.

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.
