The objective of this study was to investigate the hydrodynamics and the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient of an external-loop airlift reactor (ELAR). The ELAR was operated in three cases: different inlet velocities of fluids, different alcohols solutions (water, 0.5% methanol, 0.5% ethanol, 0.5% propanol and 0.5% butanol) and different concentration of methanol in solutions (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 5%). The influence of superficial gas velocity and various diluted alcohol solutions on hydrodynamics and gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient of the ELAR was studied. Experimentally, the gas hold-up, liquid velocities and volumetric mass transfer coefficient values in the riser and the downcomer were obtained from the literature source. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed, based on two-phase flow, investigating different liquids regarding surface tension, assuming the ideal gas flow, applying the finite volume method and Eulerian-Eulerian model. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient was determined using CFD model, as well as artificial neural network model. The effects of liquid parameters and gas velocity on the characteristics of the gas-liquid mass transfer were simulated. These models were compared with appropriate experimental results. CFD model successfully succeed to simulate the influence of different alcohols regarding the number of C-atoms on hydrodynamics and mass transfer.

Possible causes of mass transfer acceleration of carbon atoms and alloying elements in the surface layers of steels and alloys under extreme heating, under pulsing laser irradiation in particular, are considered. The research shows that the anomaly accelerated mass transfer, including diffusion in particular, in steels and alloys under fast laser heating has a cooperative character and is a result of a simultaneous action of several processes of different physics. It is proved that the carbon atoms mass transfer parameters and alloying elements depend on the scale and the level of emerging tension, relaxation of which goes along with a local plastic deformation, and occurrence of increased number of linear defects in crystal structure.
