CHARACTERISTIC VELOCITY AND MASS TRANSFER IN ROTATING IMPELLER COLUMN
The effects of system variables on flow characteristics and mass transfer rate were studied in a rotating impeller column using a ternary system of water (continuous phase)-acetone (solute)-cyclohexane (dispersed phase). The characteristic velocity, Peclet numbers in both phases and mass transfer coefficient between phases were correlated as ;
