Submission
All papers should be submitted to entropy@mdpi.com with copy to the guest editor. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special websites. Both, research articles and review articles are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editors for announcment on this website.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a paper. Open Access publication fees are 800 CHF per paper. English correction fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (1050 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.).

Title: Application of the Kolmogorov Entropy Algorithm for Flow Regime Identification in a Bubble Column
Authors: Stoyan Nedeltchev1,2, Oliver Lorenz1 and Adrian Schumpe1
Affiations: 1 Institute of Technical Chemistry, TU Braunschweig Hans-Sommer-Strasse 10, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany; 2 Institute of Chemical Engineering, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences “Acad. G. Bontchev” Str. Bl. 103, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria
Abstract: The behavior of the Kolmogorov entropy (KE) in a bubble column (0.102 m ID) was studied in order to identify the boundaries of the various flow regimes. The column was equipped with a perforated plate distributor (19 × Æ 1 mm) and was operated batchwise with both ethanol (96 %)-nitrogen and tap water-nitrogen systems at ambient pressure and temperature. The KE algorithm was applied to differential pressure fluctuations recorded at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz. The KE estimation involved the following steps: reconstruction of phase space, plot of chaotic attractor and its characterization by the KE. The KE quantifies the rate of information loss. Based on the peaks in the KE values the boundaries of 4 main regimes were identified. It was found that two of them may be additionally divided into subregimes and their boundaries were also identified by means of the KE algorithm.
