Fluid dynamics and mixing behavior of a static mixer using simultaneously Particle Image Velocimetry and Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mixing behavior around a SMX-type static mixer segment has been investigated experimentally by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) simultaneously. To quantify mixing, velocity fields and concentration fields have been measured for different Reynolds numbers along vertical and horizontal sections directly behind the mixer. The experimental data have been post-processed. A spectral analysis of the simultaneous PIV and PLIF measurements has been carried out, in order to determine the characteristic frequencies induced by the mixer and correlations between velocity and concentrations. Furthermore, the mixing efficiency has been quantified by considering the segregation index.

Comparisons of Experimental and Simulated Velocity Fields in Membrane Module Spacers
Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...

A Laser Induced Fluorescence technique (LIF) has been used to study the mixing behavior of two emerging streams in a T-Type mixing chamber. A mixing index on the basis of digital image light intensities is calculated. It has been shown that averaging over more than 800 images leads to a stable mixing index calculation. Moreover, the effect of equal and un-equal flow rates on the mixing behavior...

Abstract In this work, the role of appropriate mixing for mercaptan removal from Kerosene using caustic soda has been investigated in the pilot scale. Static mixer at different condition has been used as a passive mixing tool to achieve proper mixing and consequently high performance of mercaptan removal. Two lengths of static mixer including 20 and 40 cm as well as two pitches 1 and 3 m...

Turbulent scalar mixing in the near field of a tee mixer (transverse jet in a pipe) is studied using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF). Two jet-to-pipe velocity ratios, r = 3.06 and r = 5.04, are investigated for a turbulent pipe flow at a Reynolds number of 20,850. The laser measurement techniques are described, typical flow structures in the near fi...
