Abstract: The oxygen mass transfer coefficient is a key parameter in the design of a gas-liquid stirred reactor. It is fundamental for the intensification of an industrial gas-liquid two-phase stirred reactor to study the oxygen mass transfer performance under new types of agitating impellers. Here, a new type of hemi-cambered pitched blade turbine was investigated experimentally to disclose the effects of gas distributor, agitation speed and gas flow rate on the oxygen mass transfer coefficient, the stirring power consumption and the gas holdup. The results showed that the oxygen mass transfer coefficient increased with the increase of stirring speed and gas flow rate; and the empirical equation between oxygen mass transfer coefficient and stirring power consumption and apparent gas velocity was established, which provided a basis for further enlargement of application. Then computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow model along with the population balance model to study the hydrodynamics and oxygen mass transfer properties of the hemi-cambered pitched blade turbine with different configuration, agitation speed and gas flow rate. The relative errors between the experimental data and the estimated values were less than 20%, which provided a reliable numerical simulation method for the study of hemi-cambered pitched blade turbine. The configuration of the hemi-cambered pitched blade turbine was optimized to obtain higher oxygen mass transfer coefficients.

Key words: agitating impeller, gas-liquid flow, oxygen transfer coefficient, computational fluid dynamics, population balance model
