Lavrentieva, 5,Novosibirsk 630090, Russia, e-mail: trachuk@ngs.ru2 Novosibirsk State Technical University, Novosibirsk, Russia, e-mail: tpanstu@ngs.ruOne method to enhance heat-mass exchange processes accompanying gas,liquid and solid phase interactions is to provide their contact in a centrifugal forcefield. Rotation results in the appearance of centrifugal forces in the multiphase layer,which results in large phase contact surfaces and relative phase rotation rates. Acentrifugal force field can be generated by flux whirling. In the literature, the devicesrelying on this principle are known as vortex devices.We suggest that for the vortex devices with a multiphase layer/bed, one can usethe mathematical models developed for the multiphase systems in the gravitationalfield by replacing the value of gravity acceleration with a centrifugal one. To use thisidea/suggestion, it is necessary to know the value of rotational rate of a multiphaselayer regarding the geometry of a vortex apparatus, rates of gas and liquid flows andphysical features of the phases.Thus, for the suspended/slurry gas-liquid-solid layer (see Fig. 1a), containingsmall particles (
