摘要
Gas holdup and liquid circulation time were measured in a down flow jet loop bioreactor with a non-Newtonian fluid. It was observed that the circulation time decreases with increase in nozzle diameter, draft tube to column diameter ratio and shear thinning of the media. The gas holdup increases with increase in gas and liquid velocities. The optimum draft tube to column diameter ratio was found to be 0.438. Correlations for gas holdup and circulation time involving operational and geometrical variables were presented.
