Abstract Bubble column reactors fitted with tube bundles (BCR TB) belong to common heat transfer equipment in the field of chemical engineering, yet the complicated thermal-hydraulics performance of BCR TB has not been deeply revealed. To fill this gap, the present study proposes a novel variable bubble size modeling approach based on the Euler-Euler two-fluid framework, which is coupled with the population balance model considering comprehensive interphase forces. On the basis of verifying numerical reliability using experimental data, the mechanism of bubble swarm flow around the tube bundle and the effects of gas sparger configurations on… More >
