Due to a prolonged operation time and low mass transfer efficiency,the primary challenge in the aeration process of non-Newtonian fluids is the high energy consumption,which is closely related to the form and rate of impeller,ventilation,rheological properties and bubble morphology in the reactor.In this perspective,through optimal computational fluid dynamics models and experiments,the relation-ship between power consumption,volumetric mass transfer rate(kLa)and initial bubble size(d0)was constructed to establish an efficient operation mode for the aeration process of non-Newtonian fluids.It was found that reducing the d0 could significantly increase the oxygen mass transfer rate,resulting in an obvious decrease in the ventilation volume and impeller speed.When d0 was regulated within 2-5 mm,an optimal kLa could be achieved,and 21％of power consumption could be saved,compared to the case of bubbles with a diameter of 10 mm.
