Popis: Based on a study of the gas hold-up data for stirred tank reactor generated in the present work and the data available in the literature for large stirred tank reactors (T = 0.57 m to 2.7 m) equipped with disc turbines and pitched blade downflow turbines a correlation is presented which reliably predicts gas hold-up data over wide range of system configurations and operating parameters. The parameter used, N/N-cd, relates gas hold-up at impeller speed N with respect to the gas hold-up at minimum impeller speed for complete dispersion of the gas, N-cd, It is shown that the gas hold-up data of different workers when compared on the basis of N/N-cd, shows unanimity.
