An Analytical Approach to Calculate the One-Dimensional Drift Velocity in Bubble Columns
Abstract: The design and scale-up of a bubble column reactor require a complete understanding of its complex hydrodynamics, which is influenced by the physical properties of the phases, the operating variables, and the design parameters. Current design procedures for bubble columns involve several steps of pilot-plant experimentation, which is expensive and time-consuming. One of the critical unknown parameters involved in designing any gas-liquid system is the gas holdup. The gas holdup …

Millard Reaction: The Chemical Reaction of Browning, Flavoring and Aroma Through the Science of Cooking.
Abstract: The Maillard reaction is a step in the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). It is tracked by measuring pentosidine. Even though the Maillard reaction has been studied most extensively in food science, it has also displayed and shown correlation in many different diseases in the body of human being, especially in degenerative eye diseases. In normal conditions, these diseases are due to the accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) …

Review on Azomethine-Compounds with Their Applications
Abstract: Azomethine derivatives are very important and the initiating compound for most synthetic chemistrycompounds in all their fields. Since R, R1 is an alkyl or aryl group, the first to prepare and isolate itwas the German scientist Hugo Schiff in 1864 from the condensation of the carbonyl group (aldehyde,ketone) with a primary amine compound (aliphatic, aromatic). During the past few decades there hasbeen great interest in Schiff base compounds. The rules …
