Abstract: The local gas phase flow characteristics of the gas-liquid two phase selfaspirated reversed flow jet loop reactor such as the radial profiles of gas holdup,bubble mean velocity and bubble size,using a miniature dual-sensor resistivity probe,were studied experimentally.A new digital processing method,based on threshold combinations of level and slope,was proposed for phase identification by the resistivity probe.In particular,the effects of the liquid jet flowrates on the local gas phase flow parameter profiles in the jet region and the tubular flow region inside the draft tube were discussed.
