This paper presents and substantiates the method of processing of the experimental data obtained from the experiments related to air sparging through the jet fuel layer. The experimental data was collected by Henshaw and Lam during the study addressed to oxygen re-absorption characteristics of an oxygen depleted, quiescent body of Jet A-1 fuel when sparged with air. In this study we accepted the hypothesis that the experimental results should be described primarily based on physical knowledge of the process and common techniques used for the description of individual components of the mass transfer process in sparging. The proposed calculation method of sparging mass transfer is valid for sparging through porous surfaces with pores of 1 m or less, with large groups of small bubbles forming in the fuel. Moreover, the proposed method has been well-tested in the parameter range used in literature and needs to be thoroughly checked beyond this range. |
