Abstract
The apparatus for measuring disentrainment rate of air includes a Confined Plunging Liquid Jet Reactor (CPLJR) having a downcomer column surrounding a liquid jet. The end of the downcomer column is partially immersed in a receiving liquid pool contained in a reservoir. A conical ring is placed in the downcomer column below the liquid jet, the ring bearing against the wall of the downcomer column and forming a seal to define a headspace in the column. A gas supply and first bubble meter are connected to the column above the conical ring to supply gas and measure total entrainment. A second bubble meter connected to the headspace between the ring and the receiving pool measures disentrainment, and a third bubble meter connected to headspace above the receiving pool outside the column measures net entrainment.
