Publisher's Synopsis
This book describes new findings which substantially broaden the field of correct use of oxygen probes, especially with regard to the use of the increasingly important dynamic methods for the specification of design, scaling-up and control parameters of various processes. Methods of correct treatment of dynamic measurements are illustrated by examples of measurement of important chemical engineering parameters, eg aeration efficiency of fermenters, or transfer parameters of packed absorption columns.;The authors provide methods for the correct interpretation of probe signals for a wide range of experimental conditions, and offer probe manufacturers guidelines for optimization of the probe configuration. The book can be used as a manual, with a system of cross references and a large quantity of illustrative examples, tables and references.
