%0 Journal Article %T EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE GAS-LIQUID FLOW IN THE MEMBRANE MICROPORE AERATION BIOREACTOR %A DONG LIU %A ZHENG WANG %A MIN-GUAN YANG %J Journal of Engineering Science and Technology %D 2008 %I Taylor's University %X Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has been developed to measure the typical two-phase flow of various work conditions in Membrane Micropore Aeration Bioreactor (MMAB). The fluid phase is separated out using image processing techniques, which provides accurate measurements for the Bioreactor¡¯s flow field, and makes it possible for quantitative analysis of the momentum exchange, heat exchange and the process of micro-admixture. The experimental method PIV used in this paper can preferably measure the complex flow in the reactor and initiates a new approach for the bioreactor design which mainly depends on experience at present. %K PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) %K MMAB %K Simulation %K Two-phase flow %U http://jestec.taylors.edu.my/Vol%203%20Issue%203%20December%2008/Vol_3_3_272-277_Dong_Liu.pdf
