Abstract
Gas holdup and axial dispersion coefficient data for dilute aqueous alcohol solutions and two different diameter columns at larger gas and liquid velocities compared to those of Schügerl et al. (1977) are presented. Data for cocurrent and batch systems are qualitatively explained using Zuber and Findlay's theory (1965) and bubble structure, and quantified further using a dynamic gas disengagement technique. Unified empirical correlations for the gas holdup and axial dispersion coefficients are presented.Keywords
