2006 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Multiphase Mixing I: Gas-Liquid Mixing

The session will address the fundamental and practical issues of multiphase mixing with emphasis on gas-liquid systems. This includes hydrodynamics and mass transfer Papers covering tools to model, measure and understand the phenomena are expected.
