Experimental measurement and computational fluid dynamics simulation of mixing in a stirred tank: a review
Introduction Mixing in stirred tanks is driven by the impeller-generated convective motion at larger scales, by turbulent transfer at smaller scales and diffusion at molecular scales. Smith reported that the lack of a fundamental understanding of the processes in stirred vessels leads to losses in the order of US$10 billion per year due to non-optimal energy utilisation. Thus, there is a need t...
متن کاملModelling and Adaptive Control of Aerobic Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors
A biotechnological aerobic process is modelled as an ordinary diierential equation which, under mild assumptions, ensures invariance of the positive orthant and bound-edness of the concentrations. An adaptive controller is designed for this general class of processes so that the external substrate can be regulated by the dilution rate into a prespeciied arbitrarily small neighbourhood of a cons...
متن کاملA Computational Study about the Effect of Turbines Pitched Blade Attack Angle on the Power Consumption of a Stirred Tank
In this study, the stirring mechanism of shear-thinning fluids benefiting from four blades in turbulent flow is considered. The fluid is studied inside a stirred cylindrical tank with a flat bottom. The height of fluid is equal to the cylinder’s diameter and the impeller is positioned centrally. A CFD simulation has been carried out and three-dimensional turbulent flow is numerically analyzed u...
متن کاملAnalytical and comparative investigations on counter flow heat exchanger using computational fluid dynamics
This paper presents a comprehensive and exclusive thermodynamic analysis of counter flow heat exchanger under various operating and geometrical conditions. Analysis system (ANSYS) workbench 14.0 has been used for computational analysis and comparison with previous literature has been carried out in view of variable temperature and mass flow rate of hot and cold fluids. An analytical and statist...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Flow Field in a Elliptic Bottom Stirred Tank with Bottom Baffles
When the crisscross baffles and logarithmic spiral baffles are placed on the bottom of the stirred tank with elliptic bottom, using CFD software FLUENT simulates the velocity field of the stirred tank with elliptic bottom and bottom baffles. Compare the velocity field of stirred tank with bottom crisscross baffle to the velocity field of stirred tank without bottom baffle and analysis the flow ...
