Gas Dispersion in Non-Newtonian Fluids with Mechanically Agitated Systems: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gas dispersion in non-Newtonian fluids is encountered a broad range of chemical, biochemical, and food industries. Mechanically agitated vessels are commonly employed these processes because they promote high degree contact between the phases. However, mixing challenging task that requires comprehensive knowledge flow to accurately design stirred vessels. Therefore, this review presents developments accomplished by researchers field. The present work describes mass transfer variables, namely volumetric coefficient, power consumption, gas holdup, bubble diameter, cavern size. It empirical correlations for variables discusses effects operating parameters on process. Furthermore, paper demonstrates advantages employing computational fluid dynamics tools shed light hydrodynamics complex flow. literature shows gaps remain yield stress with viscoelastic effects. In addition, studies accounting scale-up still need be accomplished. Hence, further investigation patterns under different process conditions valuable have an appropriate insight into system.

Rapid mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a three-dimensional micro-mixer using non-uniform magnetic field
The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...

Time-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملMixing of non-Newtonian fluids in steadily forced systems.
We investigate mixing in a viscoelastic and shear-thinning fluid-a very common combination in polymers and suspensions. We find that competition between elastic and viscous forces generates self-similar mixing, lobe transport, and other characteristics of chaos. The mechanism by which chaos is produced is evaluated both in experiments and in a simple model. We find that chaotic flow is generate...
