title = "Identifying first-principles models for bubble column aeration using machine learning",
abstract = "Mass transfer of oxygen is investigated in this work using a pilot-scale bubble column unit with a two-fluid nozzle for aeration. First-principles models for the bubble column unit are identified by utilizing concepts in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and applying the same to experimental data. By combining process knowledge with data-driven modeling, we discovered interpretable models for oxygen transport phenomena in bubble columns. By virtue of obtaining symbolic models, it is possible to perform post-hoc analyses on the same in order to gain physical insights into the mechanisms occurring in the system -- a convenience lost when using black-box models such as neural networks. This provides valuable understanding which can be applied when modeling more complex systems such as fermentation processes.",
