Full textIn order to characterize the mass transfer coefficients (MTC) of different species across liquid steel/slag interface, a multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was developed. MTC’s are estimated from models based on physicochemical and hydrodynamic parameters, such as mass diffusivity, interface shear and divergence strength. These models were developed for gas-liquid interactions with relative low Schmidt (Sc=ν⁄D) numbers (Sc≈200). However, the industrial processes involve mass transfer of chemical species with Sc number ranging from 103 to 104. To evaluate the applicability of these existing models, the fluid flow in the vicinity of a liquid/liquid interface is investigated. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) were used to calculate and measure the velocity field on a continuous casting (CC) water model configuration. The work provides new insights and original measures to understand the fluid flow near liquid-liquid interfaces.The mass transfer model of an industrial continuous casting mold showed that the mass transfer coefficients are not homogeneously distributed, and slag properties should follow this trend. This non-homogeneity was confirmed by physical experiments performed with a water model of a CC configuration and its CFD representation. The calculated flow was used to predict the MTC and the interface area between phases, since the interface is constantly moving. These parameters will be the input of thermodynamic models to predict slag composition and viscosity. This methodology is currently under validation, and it will also be applied to improve steel plant performance in the desulphurization process

Full textA bubble column reactor is a vertical cylindrical vessel used for gas-liquid reactions. Bubble Columns have several applications in industry due to certain obvious advantages such as high gas-liquid interfacial area, high heat and mass transfer rates, low maintenance requirements and operating costs. On the other hand, attempts at modelling and simulation are complicated by lack of understanding of hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics. This complicates design scale-up and industrial usage. Many studies and models have attempted to evolve understanding of the hydrodynamic complexity in Bubble Columns reactors. A closer look at these studies and models reveals a variety of solution methods for different systems (Frössling, 1938; Clift et al., 1978; Hughmark, 1967; Dutta, 2007; Ranz and Marshall, 1952; Benitez, 2009; Buwa et al., 2006; Suzzia et al., 2009; Wylock et al., 2011). Numerous correlations (Frössling, 1938; Clift et al., 1978; Hughmark, 1967; Dutta, 2007; Ranz and Marshall, 1952; Benitez, 2009; Buwa et al., 2006) exist but to date in literature, there is no general approach to determining accurate estimates of average mass transfer coefficient values. Good estimates of the average mass transfer coefficient will improve the predictive capacity of the associated models. Recent attempts at modelling micro-scale bubble-fluid interaction resulted in the Bubble Cell Model, BCM, (Coetzee et al., 2009) which simulates the velocity vector field around a single gas bubble in a flowing fluid stream using a Semi-Analytical model. The aim of the present study is to extend the BCM applications by integrating the mass balance into the framework to predict the average mass transfer coefficient in bubble columns. A nitrogen-water steady state system was simulated in an axisymmetric grid where mass transfer occurs between the gas and liquid.

This study was interestedin polyphenol content of apple tissue parenchyma. The problem concerns effects of texturedegradation on the diffusion of polyphenols molecules. The originality of the approach isbased on the combination of texture, osmotic pressure and polyphenol leaching. Physicaland biochemical methods were used to measure changes at macroscopic scale and chemicalchanges occurring in the parenchymateous tissue . The study of mass transfer highlightedvarious factors that may affect apparent coefficient diffusion. The result showed that thedisintegration of texture , thickness, apple variety and osmotic pressure of leaching mediacan influence mass transfer yield.

Full textRadiative heat transfer of gas plays an important role in industrial applications such as in combustion chambers, atmospheric sciences, etc. Several models [11] have been proposed to estimate the radiative properties of gases. The most accurate one is the Line-By-Line (LBL) approach. However, this technique involves excessive computation cost which makes it inappropriate for most applications. Nevertheless, it remains the reference approach for the assessment of other approximate models. The Correlated k-distribution method (Ck) [11] was shown to be a relevant choice for many applications. This method performs usually well, when only small temperature gradients are involved [21]. However, if the gaseous medium is subject to large temperature gradients, it may lead to errors that can reach 50% in terms of radiative heat fluxes when compared to LBL simulations [21]. The aim of the present paper is to propose an enhanced version of the Ck method, called the Multi-Spectral Correlated k-distribution approach (MSCk). The main difference between Ck and MSCk models is that in the Ck approach spectral intervals over which the radiative properties of the gas are averaged are chosen contiguous whereas, in the MSCk technique, those intervals are built in order to ensure that the absorption coefficient are scaled over them [27]. Accordingly, the usual assumption of correlated spectrum used in k-distribution approaches for the treatment of non uniformities is more acceptable in the MSCk case than in the Ck one. The building of those spectral intervals (using Functional Data Clustering, [52]) is detailed and the approach is assessed against LBL reference data in several test cases. These cases involve H2O-N2 and H2O-CO2-N2 mixtures in the [300-3000K] temperature range. Results show that the MSCk method enables to achieve better accuracies than Ck methods while remaining acceptable in terms of computational cost

Full textThe gas/liquid mass transfer is an essential step in process engineering. It directly affects theperformance of gas/liquid reactor in being often limiting process efficiency. The objective of this studyis to propose new investigations in order to study (i) the effect on oxygen diffusion coefficients underthe presence in clean water of some compounds usually found in biological process and (ii) quantifytheir consequences on liquid-side mass transfer coefficients. The oxygen diffusioncoefficients DO2 were measured in various synthetic liquid phases containing either salt (NaCl), sugar(glucose) or surfactant (sodium laurylsulphate). When compared to clean water, reductionsof DO2 were observed; the variation of DO2 with the compound concentration C was modeled andfound dependent on the nature of the compound added. Then, to determine the liquid side masstransfer coefficient kL, experiments on a train of bubbles rising in a quiescent liquid phase were carriedout by the same synthetic liquid phases. For all cases, whatever the aqueous solutions, a decreaseof kL with increasing C was clearly observed. These results firstly showed that, even if the properties ofclean water (density, viscosity, surface tension) were not significantly changed by the addition of salts(NaCl), the liquid-side mass transfer coefficients could be modified. For the aqueous solutions ofglucose, the reduction of kL with DO2 was well correlated, and mainly due to the change in viscositywith concentration. For surfactants, the hydrodynamic conditions (i.e. bubble Reynolds number) beingalmost kept constant for all concentrations, only the change in DO2 was thus responsible for thedecrease of kL. The present study clearly confirmed the need to complete and/or account for thedatabase related to oxygen diffusion coefficients and liquid side mass transfer coefficient in complexmedia (electrolytic solution, organic solution and surfactant). This condition is imperatively required todescribe and to model appropriately the gas-liquid mass transfer phenomena

L’objectif principal de ce travail porte sur l’étude des transferts dans un système solide/liquide constitué d’un produit végétal (aubergine) et d’une solution saline. Afin de parvenir à une bonne maîtrise de ces paramètres, les études cinétiques ont été conduites à 3°C sur des aubergines immergées dans des solutions salines avec deux concentrations. Les propriétés des solutions et des sels telles que la concentration molaire, la masse molaire et surtout la nature ionique influencent le mécanisme de perte et de gain. Les connaissances sur les interactions ions/pectines végétaux sont importants pour la formulation de nouveaux produits La détermination du coefficient de partage des ions à l’équilibre dans le système aubergine/solution ont montré que les principales propriétés des ions et des solutions influençant le coefficient de partage sont le rayon ionique, l’électronégativité, la force ionique et la concentration molaire. Un modèle mathématique a permis de prédire le coefficient de partage des ions dans ce système. Dans le but d’expliquer l’absorption des ions par la phase solide, une simulation par dynamique moléculaire a été menée sur un système pectine-eau-sels. Quatre systèmes ont été utilisés. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que la nature ionique influencent la nature et le nombre d’interaction entre pectine-ion et eau-ion et donc offrent une description explicite des phénomènes de transferts et distribution des ions dans le système solide/liquide

Resumo: As colunas de recheio são equipamentos intensamente aplicados em operações de separação tais como destilação, absorção de dessorção. No entanto, a sua capacidade à transferência de massa em contracorrente é limitada devido à sua inundação. Uma nova tecnologia HIGEE ('high g¿ ¿ alta gravidade é proposta para superar esta limitação.

Abstract: Packed colummns are equipment intensively applied in separations such as distillation, absorption and stripping , absorption and strippig. However, its for counter-current mass transfer is limited due to its flooding. A new HIGEE (high g ¿ high gravity) technology is proposal to overlap this limitation. A HIGEE column uses a rotating machine that promotes centrifugal accelerations above 1000 times the terrestrial gravity acceleration. The increase of the driving force allows the increase of column¿s capacity and efficiency. In accordance with some authors, the equipment size considerably reduced presenting economic and operational advantages. The main proposal of this work is to evaluate how the mass transfer behavior of the HIGEE column changes when the external rotor radius is increased from 8 (Nascimento 1999 and 2003) to 13 cm.

Resumo: O fenômeno de formação de frost é encontrado em muitas aplicações comerciais e industriais de baixa temperatura. A camada de gelo que se forma em uma superfície fria cresce ao longo do tempo, tornando-se mais densa e por este motivo, a formação de frost em equipamentos é responsável pela queda no seu desempenho. O processo de formação de frost é um fenômeno transiente e complicado de avaliar, no qual os processos de transferência de calor e de massa ocorrem simultaneamente em um meio poroso. Neste trabalho apresentam-se medições experimentais da espessura de frost ao redor de cada um dos tubos de um arranjo triangular de cilindros verticais, realiza-se a estimação experimental de uma correlação empírica para a obtenção do número de Nusselt Global sobre o arranjo de tubos com formação de frost baseada nas medições experimentais feita numa seção de teste no interior de um túnel de vento do Laboratório de Armazenamento térmico e tubos de Calor da FEM. Para verificação é feita a estimação de uma correlação empírica para o Número de Nusselt Local em cada cilindro baseado em dados empíricos da literatura e um procedimento inverso de aproximação sucessiva utilizando a solução numérica unidimensional que simula o problema direto de formação de frost em geometria cilíndrica. O mesmo procedimento utilizando os dados experimentais deste trabalho. Encontra-se que os valores dos Números de Nusselt para as duas formas de estimação tem boa concordância. Comparações dos resultados numéricos e experimentais são realizadas e mostra-se boa concordância dos resultados das simulações numéricas para o crescimento da camada de frost utilizando ambas as correlações empíricas
Abstract: In practice, it is found the phenomenon of frost formation in a lot of commercial and industrial refrigeration applications. The layer of ice that it is formed in a cold surface grows over time, becoming more dense and bigger, and for that reason, this formation of frost in refrigeration equipment is responsible for performance decrease in this equipment. The formation of frost is a complicated and transient process, where different process of heat transfer and mass occurs simultaneously in a porous and fine layer. The convective and mass diffusive coefficients are difficult to determinate in fact of the complex physic phenomenon and the variation of the different properties that occurs over time like velocity, temperature, humidity and the geometry of this problem himself. In this work some experimental results of the frost thickness around every cylinder in a triangular arrangement of vertical cylinders are presented, an estimated experimental correlation in order to find Nusselt Global number in this triangular arrangement of cylinders is presented. This correlation is based in the experimental measurements in a wind tunnel situated in the Laboratory of Thermal storage and Fluids in FEM. In order to verify this correlation, another empiric correlation have been estimated in order to find the Nusselt number Global and Local in each cylinder. In this case, it is used data reported in the literature and an inverse method that approximates the numerical solution in one dimension that simulates this problem in cylindrical frost formation geometry. Then the same procedure has been made using the experimental results founded in this work. The different results of the two different correlations have an acceptable concordance. Different comparisons of the numerical and experimental results have been made for the frost growth always validating the results with the numerical simulations of the frost growth using both of the empirical correlations and comparing them with the experimental results that have been founded in this work and with other experimental results founded in the literature

Full textThis work presents an experimental heat and mass transfer study of an evaporative condenser, as well as, the relationship between measured quantities obtained during its operation. A small scale evaporative condenser was built in agreement to the real size equipment geometric similarity. The small scale condenser has a bundle of 210 copper tubes, with the outer diameter equal to ¼ inch, which were arranged in 35 columns and 6 rows and operating connected to the thermosifon facility that promote R-22 flow. The spray water distributor is also built on copper and the drift eliminator on aluminum, as well as the evaporative condenser structure. This condenser bounds were constructed as a glass enclosure to allow for the spray water flow visualization. To evaluate the operational conditions, the equipment was attached to a centrifugal fan controlled by a frequency inverter and a spray water circuit which allows for water quantity changing. From the carried out tests, 79 measuring samples were obtained and used to verify the quantities relationship, as well as, to evaluate the heat and mass transfer coefficients For the R-22 were determined the local and average heat transfer coefficients. Furthermore, the dessuperheating, condensation and subcooling regions were verified and compared both, the experimental overall heat transfer coefficient and those calculated by correlations at condensation and subcooling zones. From these investigations a correlation for the overall heat transfer coefficient is proposed. Its application allows determining the coefficient using the operational conditions and the geometric condenser features. The higher deviation found between the experimental data and the presented correlation is lower to 10%.

Full textMicro-oxygenation of the wines, by the dispersion of oxygen bubbles, is a practice increasingly used in oenology. This technique is not always suitably controlled for lack of scientific knowledge on the parameters governing the transfer of oxygen. Research was focused on the study of transfer coefficients in function of wine components (CO2, ethanol, sucrose, consuming oxygen) and of operating conditions (type of diffuser, temperature, relationship between height and diameter of the container of liquid). The results show that during micro-oxygenation, the dissolved carbon dioxide and the sucrose have a negative incidence on the transfer whereas the presence of ethanol improves the transfer. As operating conditions are concerned, the increase in gas output and the increase in micro-oxygenation tank height/diameter ratio positively influence oxygen transfer. For wines, the specific surface of the bubbles and the mass transfer coefficient could be dissociated. The surfactant nature of wine components seems to be the most important factor in mass transfer. The knowledge so acquired was applied to micro-oxygenation during two stages of wine making: alcoholic fermentation with the oxygen yield control and the simulation of ageing technique in barrels coupled with the wood chips addition. A new approach relates to the study of a membrane contactor application allowing the oxygen transfer by diffusion

Resumo: No presente trabalho investigou-se a desidratação osmótica de maçãs (variedade Fuji), seguida ou não de secagem convectiva com ar quente. Foram determinados perfis de concentração de água e soluto(s) em amostras de maçãs cortadas ao meio e desidratadas osmoticamente em soluções aquosas binárias (30% e 50% de sacarose, p/p) e solução ternária (50% de sacarose e 10% de cloreto de sódio, m/m), sob agitação vigorosa e temperatura constante (27°C). As amostras imersas na solução osmótica durante 2, 4 e 8 h foram fatiadas a partir da superfície plana exposta. A densidade e os teores de água, açúcares totais e redutores e cloreto de sódio foram determinados em cada fatia. O modelo matemático que descreve o transporte de cada espécie estudada (água, sacarose e cloreto de sódio) se baseia na equação de continuidade e na Lei de Fick e considera o encolhimento do tecido. O modelo foi ajustado aos dados experimentais, através do método implícito de diferenças finitas de Crank-Nicolson para determinar os coeficientes efetivos de difusão como uma função da concentração, utilizando coordenadas materiais e integrando simultaneamente as equações diferenciais de cada componente (água e sacarose ou água, sacarose e cloreto de sódio). Imagens de microscopia ótica de tecidos tratados osmoticamente, previamente pigmentados com o corante vital vermelho neutro, foram obtidas variando-se a concentração das soluções e o tempo de exposição. Os registros fotográficos retratam alterações da estrutura celular, que variam de acordo com a intensidade do processo de desidratação. A secagem convectiva com ar quente foi realizada em amostras de maçãs cortadas ao meio, frescas e previamente tratadas em solução aquosa de sacarose a 50% p/p durante 4 horas (27°C). Os perfis de umidade foram determinados a partir da superfície, após a exposição da face plana das metades das maçãs ao fluxo de ar quente (60°C ) durante 3, 6, 10 e 24 horas de secagem. O modelo matemático que descreve o transporte da água se baseia nas equações de continuidade e na Lei de Fick e considera o encolhimento do tecido e a concentração inicial não homogênea para o tecido previamente tratado. De maneira similar à desidratação osmótica, a difusividade de água na secagem também foi determinada em função da concentração, utilizando-se o método implícito de diferenças finitas de Crank-Nicolson e coordenadas materiais. Obtevese um bom ajuste dos modelos matemáticos aos dados experimentais de desidratação osmótica e de secagem. A ordem de magnitude dos coeficientes obtidos para a desidratação osmótica foi uma ou duas vezes menor que de coeficientes de difusão binários de soluções puras de sacarose e de cloreto de sódio. No caso da secagem, o comportamento da difusividade mostrou dependência significativa com a concentração de água. O tecido fresco apresentou coeficientes superiores aos do tecido pré-tratado osmoticamente além de funcionalidades distintas para diferentes tempos de secagem (inferior e superior a 6 horas). O tecido tratado apresentou um comportamento mais estável da difusividade da água no material e foi descrito por uma única função. Este fato está relacionado com as mudanças estruturais ocorridas durante a secagem, mais severas para o tecido fresco em relação ao tecido tratado
Abstract: In this study it was investigated the osmotic dehydration of apples (Fuji variety) followed or not by convective drying with hot air. Concentration profiles were determined for water and solute(s) in samples of apples cut in half and osmotically dehydrated in binary aqueous solutions (30% and 50% sucrose, w/w) and ternary solution (50% sucrose and 10% sodium chloride, w/w) under vigorous stirring and constant temperature (27°C). The samples immersed in the osmotic solution for 2, 4 and 8 h were sliced from the exposed flat surface. The density and water, total and reducing sugars and sodium chloride contents were determined in each slice. The mathematical model that describes the transport of each species studied (water, sucrose and sodium chloride) is based on the continuity equation and on the of Fick's diffusion law and considers the tissue shrinkage. The model was fitted to experimental data through the finite difference implicit method of Crank-Nicolson, to determine the effective diffusion coefficients as a function of concentration, using material coordinates and integrating simultaneously the differential equations of each component (water and sucrose or water, sucrose and sodium chloride). Light microscopy images of osmotically processed tissues previously pigmented with the vital dye neutral red, were obtained, varying the concentration of solutions and time of exposure. The photographic records show changes in cellular structure, which vary with the intensity of the dehydration process. The convective air drying was carried out on samples of apples cut in half, fresh and treated in aqueous solution of sucrose to 50% w/w for 4 hours (27°C). The moisture profiles were determined from the surface, after exposure of the flat face of half of the apples to the flow of hot air (60 ° C) during 3, 6, 10 and 24 hours of drying. The mathematical model that describes the water transport is based on the continuity equation, the Fick's diffusion law, the tissue shrinkage and the nonhomogeneous initial concentration of the previously treated tissue. Similarly to the osmotic dehydration, the water diffusivity in drying was also determined in terms of concentration, using the finite difference implicit method of Crank-Nicolson and coordinated materials. It was possible to obtained a good fit of mathematical models to experimental data of osmotic dehydration and drying. The order of magnitude of the coefficients obtained for the osmotic dehydration was one or two times lower than diffusion coefficients of pure binary solutions of sucrose and sodium chloride. For drying, the behavior of diffusivity showed significant dependence with the concentration of water. The fresh tissue showed coefficients greater than the osmotically pre-treated tissue than it needs distinct functions for different times of drying (and less than 6 hours). The treated tissue showed a more stable behavior of the water diffusivity in the material and was described by a single function. This fact is related to the structural changes during drying, more severe for the fresh tissue than for the treated tissue

Full textCitrus essential oils are used in a wide variety of applications in various branches of the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. In the cosmetics industry, specifically in the field of perfumery, natural citrus assets (from the essential oils of bergamot, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange, etc.) are used in the formulations of colonies, moisturizing creams and lotions. Furthermore, these compounds are widely used as flavoring agents in food and pharmaceutical industries and as raw material for the flavor industry. With the aim to improve the quality of essential oils and its flavoring ability, some processes have been developed to enrich the mixture with oxygenated compounds, which are reported as the main responsible for the characteristic aroma of the fruit. Such process is commonly known as deterpenation, and consists in concentration of these compounds by the removal of terpene compounds from the essencial oil and can be performed by liquid or solvent extraction. In this context, the purpose of this dissertation of master\'s degree was to carry out a study of the technical feasibility of deterpenation process of a citrus essential oil model composed by a mixture of limonene and linalool. The experiments of deterpenation were conducted in a perforated rotating discs contactor (PRDC) under controlled conditions of temperature and local environment al pressure. The equipment was operated in continuously and countercurrently mode, using as solvents ethanol solutions with 30 and 40% of water contents (by mass), rotation of discs speed of 150, 200 and 250 rpm and the mass flow rate of the solvent and feed ratio of 0.5, 1.25, 2.5 and 3.0. The behavior of the density and viscosity of the extract and raffinate phases from the extraction column was also evaluated. It was found that the deterpenation of essential oils by liquid-liquid extraction technology is feasible and can be applied to continuous processes using PRDC column extraction type, for instance, being possible to obtain enriched fractions of oxygenated compounds (linalool).

Full textThis work belongs to a research project between CEA and ARMINE (LGEI center/ Ecole des Mines d’Alès). It aims at increasing comprehension of physical mechanism generating when a liquid pool (either flammable or toxic parked under atmospheric pressure) evaporates after loss of containment. An experimental design is realized in order to express some characteristics of evaporation phenomena (initial evaporation rate, steady evaporation rate and duration of unsteady evaporation rate) as a function of initial liquid and soil temperature, wind velocity, air temperature and initial liquid thickness. Heat fluxes exchanged between the pool and its environment are either measure or computed.Experimental evaporation rates are compared to those predicted by correlations available in the literature. Two sensitivity analyses are performed and their results are confronted to those from experimental design. It allows determining if the importance of the different experimental parameters is the same from the correlations to the phenomena itself.Temperature measurements in liquid thickness highlight the presence of natural convection cells. Besides, mean surface temperature is computed from measurements of heat fluxes exchanged between the pool and its environment. From the different results, several points are investigated: the shift between heat and mass balance equations according to the temperature employed to compute them the difference between the liquid bulk and liquid surface temperature, barely taken into account in correlations the noteworthy role of natural convection in the evaporation phenomena.A last chapter studies the surface temperature distribution thanks to an infrared thermometer. Homogeneous temperatures areas appear in the case of cavity flows. The presence of different temperature areas implies that evaporation kinematic in not uniform in the whole surface. From these result the mass transfer coefficient is studied as a function of the step height between the top of the cavity and the liquid surface. It concludes to a mass transfer coefficient decrease non modeled by the different correlations in the literature

Full textThe oxygen transfer is a limiting factor in many bioreactors cultivations, in which strictly aerobic organisms are grown due to the low solubility of oxygen in culture media. The introduction of unconventional media, such as polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) in bioreactors can be seen as a potential improvement for these processes. This work proposes an investigation of the use of polydimethylsiloxane in its two forms, fluid and emulsified, used as carriers of oxygen in culture media for the lipase production of Staphylococcus warneri EX17, strain capable of using glycerol as substrate, to improve the oxygen availability and improve enzyme productivity. Initially, studies were performed to select the use of residual glycerol, derived from the chemical synthesis of biodiesel as a source of carbon. The lipase activity was similar in both commercial and residual glycerol. Experiments were performed on orbital shaker, using conditions previously optimized in another work of the group, but with the addition of PDMS. Two types of PDMS were tested, the fluid and the emulsified. The lipase production was significantly higher in medium containing PDMS. Experimental design and central composite design (CCD) were used to evaluate the influence of PDMS on the oxygen transfer coefficient kLa in culture medium free of lipase-producing cells. The kLa increased significantly in the medium containing PDMS. Two new experimental plannings were designed to optimize the production of lipase in culture medium with cells. In the medium containing the PDMS fluid lipase activity was five times higher than medium without the oxygen carrier, while in the medium containing the emulsified silicone lipase activity was three times higher. This study showed that the lipase from S. warneri EX17 can be produced using residual glycerol as carbon source and that polydimethylsiloxanes works as interesting carrier of oxygen by increasing oxygen transfer rates, improving enzyme production, which has several possible applications, especially in the food industry.

Full textThis work aims to quantify and model oxygen transfer in microbial cultures with an objective of intensification of bioprocess performances. Labworks in bioreactors are achieved in mineral media, free from biological reaction, then in fed-batch cultures of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger. The fieldwork is original because of the high oxygen consumptions rates (0,6 g. L-1. H-1) and the high dissipated power (35 kW. M-3) used. The oxygen transfer coefficient is determined from continuous and dynamic methods, using several unstructured models, to take into account the profile of the dispersed gaseous flow, the gas entrained from the surface, and hold-up. Among the observations, in biological media, (i) values of the oxygen transfer coefficient KT are 5 to 10 times higher than values from the literature on oxygen transfer, (ii) compared with the initial medium prior to inoculation, KT and KL (the oxygen transfer conductance) are 4 to 6 times smaller. Effects of microbial activity on oxygen transfer are characterised and quantified according to enhancements factors related to chemical modifications of the medium, oxygen consumption, and physical presence of cells. Limits of mass transfer models in intensive microbial cultures are discussed and new areas of investigation are proposed
