Mass Transfer Coefficients in Air Lift Reactors with Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

381 experimental data points from six peer-reviewed articles quantify mass transfer in two-phase Air Lift Reactor systems. The dataset covers three additives—Glycerol, carboxy-methyl cellulose, and xanthan gum—across 22 variables including reactor geometry, operating conditions, and fluid properties. Author PR, Naren compiled this data, which was last updated on May 31, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling overall mass transfer coefficients based on reactor geometry and configuration.
• Analyzing the effect of non-Newtonian fluid additives like xanthan gum on mass transfer.
• Comparing mass transfer performance under different operating conditions like gas velocity and temperature.
• Validating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for air lift reactor designs.

Strengths

• Contains 381 data points, providing a substantial experimental basis.
• Aggregates data from six peer-reviewed research articles, ensuring a foundation in published science.
• Covers 22 variables spanning reactor geometry, operating conditions, and fluid properties.
• Each data point includes a unique code for traceability back to the original source figure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's scope is limited to internal air lift reactor configurations from specific studies.
