Abstract

Abstract: A new model without any fitting parameter for estimating the mean liquid recirculating
velocity has been derived from previous work directly. The prediction agrees with
experimental data reasonably well. Accurency of prediction from the new model is comparable
with the models reported in the literature. However, the new model has a potential
capability to predict the average liquid recirculation velocity at elevated pressure bubble
columns since n and c is developed under pressure. However this needs to be further tested
experimentally.

Key words: mean liquid velocity, correlation prediction, bubble column
