The previous works on simulated and P. shermanii broths were continued and developed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae broths. The obtained results indicated the considerable increase of k?a in the presence of n-dodecane as an oxygen-vector, but the magnitude of this effect had to be correlated with the biomass characteristics, especially with hydrophobicity. Due to the higher affinity of yeast cells for hydrocarbon droplets, increase of the oxygen mass transfer rate was lower than that recorded for simulated broths or bacterial suspensions.

The aim of these experiments is to study the oxygen mass transfer rate by means of the mass transfer coefficient, for a stirred bioreactor and different fermentation broths, using a large domain of operating variables. For quantifying the effects of the considered factors (concentration and morphology of the biomass, specific power input, superficial air velocity surface aeration) on k\a, the experiments were carried out for non-respirating biomass suspensions of Propionibacterium shermanii Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Penicillium chrysogenum, mycelial aggregates (pellets) and free mycelia morphological structures.

Limiting Diffusion Current

The limiting diffusion current technique was used for investigation of free convective mass transfer at down-pointing up-facing isosceles triangular surfaces of varying length and inclination. As the mass transfer process, copper deposition from acidified copper(II) sulfate solution was used. It was found that the mass transfer rate increases with inclination from the vertical to the horizontal position and decreases with length of inclined surface. Correlation equations for 7 angles from 0 to 90° were found. The exponent in the ShL-RaL correlation ranged from 0.247 for the vertical case, indicating laminar flow, to 0.32 for inclinations of 60 to 90°, indicating mixed or turbulent flow. The general correlation ShL = 0.358(RaL sin θ)0.30 for the RaL sin θ range from 7 × 106 to 2 × 1011 and inclination range from 15 to 90° was obtained.

Airlift Pump

Airlift pumps can be used in the aquaculture industry to provide aeration while concurrently moving water utilizing the dynamics of two-phase flow in the pump riser. The oxygen mass transfer that occurs from the injected compressed air to the water in the aquaculture systems can be experimentally investigated to determine the pump aeration capabilities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of various airflow rates as well as the injection methods on the oxygen transfer rate within a dual injector airlift pump system. Experiments were conducted using an airlift pump connected to a vertical pump riser within a recirculating system. Both two-phase flow patterns and the void fraction measurements were used to evaluate the dissolved oxygen mass transfer mechanism through the airlift pump. A dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor was used to determine the DO levels within the airlift pumping system at different operating conditions required by the pump. Flow visualization imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were performed in order to better understand the effects of the two-phase flow patterns on the aeration performance. It was found that the radial injection method reached the saturation point faster at lower airflow rates, whereas the axial method performed better as the airflow rates were increased. The standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) and standard aeration efficiency (SAE) were calculated and were found to strongly depend on the injection method as well as the two-phase flow patterns in the pump riser.
