The aim of the research presented in this paper was to determine the effect of vessel scale on gas hold- up in gas-liquid systems. The agitated vessel with internal diameters of T = 0:288 m and T = 0:634 m was filled with a liquid up to the height H = T. For the purpose of measurements, two high-speed impellers were used: Rushton turbine impeller (RT) or A 315 impeller.Within the study, the following parameters were altered: superficial gas velocity, impeller speed, impeller type and concentration of aqueous sucrose solution. In addition, influence of the vessel scale on gas hold-up value was analysed. Experimental results were mathematically described. Equations (5)–(7) do not have equivalents in the literature.
