    Sparger design in fermenter

    Bob, do u know how to calculate the pressure drop in the sparger hole? I referred to Perry's, the formula is as below: delta P = 1/Co x Vo2/2 I get 5.9 psi. Is it realistic or not? What is the typical value for the pressure drop for a sparger system sparge air into the vessel?

    the heat transfer coefficient of water

    yes, i did the calculation as u show to me. But the problem is the values of hi and ho are very high, hi=5024 W/m20C and ho = 3800 W/m20C. My design is actually an agitated reactor with immersed cooling coils. Cooling water is flowing inside the coils while glucose solution is outside the coil...
