Mixing in gas-liquid contactors agitated by multiple turbines in the flooding regime

Flooding is dealt with in a particular case to show that both a mixing model and, most importantly, a dimensionless correlation of the mixing time are still possible. A tank of diameter T=0.292 m was used, equipped with a triple-turbine agitator of diameter D=T/3 in accordance with the standard design. Geometrical details, technical features and measuring techniques are as described in Vasconcelos et al. (1995)
