Popis: | An ultrasonic transmission technique has been developed to measure solids holdup in a gas-liquid-solid bubble column reactor. The results presented in this study show that the transit time of an ultrasonic signal is influenced by the variation of solids holdup and the operating conditions in the bubble column. The transit time can be correlated to the solids holdup. The ultrasonic technique is potentially applicable to high-temperature, nontransparent fluids in high-pressure, metallic reactors and, with some modifications for solids holdup measurements, applicable in slurry-bubble column reactors. |
