Oxygen transfer in the water-jet vessel

TLDR
In this paper, the gas holdup and volumetric mass transfer coefficient of a plunging water jet in an air-water system were investigated and it was shown that kLa is directly proportional to gas hold up in two regions.
Abstract
This is an investigation of the gas holdup and the volumetric mass transfer coefficient of a plunging water jet in an air-water system. We sound kLa to be directly proportional to gas holdup in two regions. For the first time, this has been clarified in the plunging liquid jet system. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the gas holdup have been well correlated in terms of the Froude number, liquid jet length, nozzle diameter and vessel diameter.

Gas entrainment by plunging liquid jets

TL;DR: An extensive survey of the results of possibly all available experimental and theoretical studies on gas entrainment by plunging liquid jets has been presented in this paper, where the following aspects of the phenomenon are thoroughly discussed: mechanisms, conditions, conditions of the onset of entrained gas, characteristics of the resulting bubble dispersion, and mass transfer.

Study of the influence of air holes along length of convergent-divergent passage of a venturi device on aeration

TL;DR: In this paper, a negative pressure drew air in through holes at the convergent-divergent passage of the venturi device, which affected the water jet expansion, the air entrainment rate, and the bubble penetration depth and hence the oxygen transfer efficiency.

Air entrainment and oxygen transfer in a venturi

TL;DR: In this paper, a water jets can increase dissolved oxygen levels when the jet impact velocity exceeds a critical velocity, which is a prime indicator of the quality of water quality, and water jets are used to measure the dissolved oxygen content of water.

Jet break-up and air entrainment by low velocity turbulent water jets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed equations for air entrainment by plunging water jets with velocities in the range between 2 and 5 m/sec. Energy considerations are shown to be a good basis for predictive equations.

Gas bubble entrainment by plunging laminar liquid jets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the entrainment characteristics of laminar and turbulent jets of Newtonian liquids of varying physical properties by means of high-speed photography, and they showed that the entrainedness occurs only when the average jet velocity exceeds a certain critical value.
