- Mots clés- Bubble column, Population balance modelling, Breakup and Coalescence**Description du sujet**:
Bubble columns are commonly used in industry for bioprocesses, toluene hydrogenation for hydrogen transport or oligomerization of bio-ethylene... However, predicting the bubble size distribution in a bubble column under specifics operating conditions remains a major challenge for the scientific community. Indeed, the bubble size distribution depends on various parameters such as the bulk fluid properties, contamination of the gas-liquid interface, design of columnAll these parameters impact coalescence and breakup mechanisms that occur at the bubble scale by modifying the physico-chemical properties of the gas-liquid system, but also the turbulence of flow. A local description of bubble breakup and coalescence phenomena is thus necessary to predict the bubble size distribution in the reactor. However, in commercial CFD codes using k- two-fluid models, only scales larger than the bubble diameter, are simulated. Breakage and coalescence phenomena require thus further effort to be modelled from local flow characteristics predicted by CFD.
The main goal of the present proposal is to build up a breakthrough methodology based on both small and large scales experiments to determine breakage and coalescence kernels in organic liquids. Small scale experiments under controlled conditions will be performed at ICPF (Prague) to investigate breakage and coalescence phenomena. Then, bubble size distribution will be characterized in realistic bubble columns for air-water and organic systems. Two column diameters will be studied at ICPF (Prague) and at IFPEN (Lyon), to consider scale-up effects. The last stage of the PhD consists in making a link between small scale experiments under controlled conditions to the one performed in bubble columns. To do so, we will rely on breakup and coalescence kernels developed at small scale to predict the bubble size distribution and compare it to the experimental one. Kernels will be first tested using a simplified Population Balance model developed at IFPEN before being implemented in 3D two-fluid model CFD simulations.
