E. coli Inactivation Kinetics Modeling in a Taylor-Couette UV Disinfection Reactor

Figure 2

Formation of rotating toroidal vortices in the reactor length, as a function of angular velocities. (a) At 9.55 rpm, a couple of vortices formed at both extremes. (b) At 9.65 rpm, 8 vortices formed in each extreme (up and bottom). At the reactor center, a weak formation of 4 more vortices developed.
