The effect of sucrose concentration on the distributions of the velocity of the continuous phase, gas hold-up and the size of gas bubbles in the system was analysed. Simulation results were presented in the form of the contours of the analysed magnitudes. The effect of sucrose concentration on the averaged values (i.e. determined on the basis of local values) of gas hold-up and gas bubbles size was evaluated. The results of the numerical computations of gas hold-up were compared with our own experimental data.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Numerical analysis of momentum transfer processes in a mechanically agitated air – biophase – liquid system}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/105887/PDF/10-paper-Karcz%20Cudak.pdf}, doi={10.1515/cpe-2017-0036}, keywords={numerical modelling, momentum transfer, gas – solid – liquid system, bioreactor}, }
