Abstract
In the present work, two different geometries of spargers for beverage carbonation were modelled by means of CFD technique. The first geometry presented a radial inlet of liquid food while the second one a tangential one. Calculation allowed to identify the best solution and mathematical results were confirmed by experimental tests with both water and apple juice. CFD resulted a very useful technique for in-silico designing not only for simple parts of plants but also for very complicated ones such as carbon dioxide spargers in which gas and liquid ix together.
