Abstract
The population balance equation coupled with the proposed breakage kernel and the previously developed breakage model is applied to the analysts of bubble size distribution for non-coalescing systems in a bench-scale airlift column. Good agreement obtained between the theoretical results and the experimental data is encouraging and indicates that the model is suitable for predicting dispersion properties such as bubble size and interfacial area in turbulent gas-liquid dispersions.Keywords
