The hydrodrynamic behavior of a 1.0 × 10 −1 m dia. Scheibel column packed with a material preferentially wetted by the dispersed phase has been investigated with and without mass transfer. Drop size and size distribution and dispersed phase holdup were measured as a function of flow rates, agitator speed, packing pad height, and mass transfer direction in a 2 4 factorial design. Flooding rates were measured and found to be dependent on the impeller position.
