| Abstract: | The gas holdup and gas entrainment of a plunging liquid jet with a gas entrainment guide in an air-water system was investigated. The measurement of the gas holdup was performed using an over-flow method. The turbulent jet velocity calculated on an inside nozzle diameter in the range from 4.4-26.5 m/s for this system has been used in our correlations. The gas holdup has been well correlated in terms of 1/H(v02 + 2gH1), H1 d0 and the gas entrainment in terms of 1/Hw(v02 + 2gH1), H1, d0. The jet power requirement was also obtained from experimental data. |
