A Numerical Study of Heat Convection in a Thermal Chaotic Mixer with Two Rods
In this paper, a numerical study of a chaotic mixing process that involves a highly viscous fluid is presented. The investigated mixer is composed of two circular rods maintained vertically inside a cylindrical tank. The tank and the rods are heated and can rotate around their revolution axis. Chaotic flows are obtained by imposing a temporal modulation of the rotational velocity. Unsteady equa...
متن کاملThermal Chaotic Mixing of Power-Law Fluids in a Mixer with Alternately-Rotating Walls
We investigate the enhancement of both mixing and heat transfer in a two-rod mixer for highly-viscous non-Newtonian fluids. The mixer is composed of two vertical, circular rods in a cylindrical tank. Chaotic flows are obtained by imposing the temporal modulations of the rotational velocities of the walls. We study the effects of different stirring protocols, which lead to non-chaotic and chaoti...
متن کاملNumerical and experimental observation of chaotic mixing in microfluidic mixer
Both the chaotic mixers (Fig.1) adopt a two-layer overlapping channels structure, which is very efficient for fluid manipulations such as stretching and folding, splitting and recombination. Even at extremely low Re (~10), chaotic advection can be generated. Both particle tracing simulation (Fig. 2) and experimental results (Fig.3) show that as the fluids are driven through the mixer, striation...
متن کاملAlternate rotating walls for thermal chaotic mixing
In this study, we numerically investigate the evolution of two-dimensional mixing and heat transfer enhancement within a two-rod stirring device. The fluid is heated by the walls, which are maintained at a constant temperature. We show by analysis of different stirring protocols that the use of discontinuous wall rotations is necessary to promote heat transfer by chaotic mixing. This condition ...
متن کاملChaotic Thermal Mixing in a Two Rod Mixer
In this work we present a numerical study of a mixing process used for the heating of highly viscous fluids. The two rod rotating mixer in question generates chaotic flow streams by means of temporal modulations of velocity. Mixing and heating performances are shown to be dependant on the direction of rotation, as well as other geometrical and physical parameters. We also reveal the self-simila...
