Modelling Three_dimensional Mixing Flows in Cylindrical-shaped Vessels

چکیده
This paper reports on a study concerned with the numerical simulation of dough mixing that arises in the food processing industry. The flows considered are in a complex domain setting. Two dough mixers at various rotation speeds are studied; one with one stirrer and the other with two stirrers. Numerical simulations are based on three dimensions in the cylindrical polar co-ordinates system. The results reflect close agreement with the equivalent experimental results. The motivation for this work is to develop and advance technology to model the mixing of dough. The ultimate target is to predict and adjust the design of dough mixers, so that optimal dough processing may be achieved notably, with reference to work input on the dough. K.S. Sujatha, D. Ding, and M.F.Webster. 2

Computational Study of Radiative and Convective Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Combustion Chamber
In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...
متن کاملModelling Three-Dimensional Rotating Flows in Cylindrical-Shaped Vessels
This paper reports on a study concerned with the numerical simulation of dough kneading that arises in the food processing industry. The flows considered are in a complex domain setting. Two dough mixers running at various rotation speeds are studied; one with a single stirrer, the other with two stirrers. Stirrers are fixed on the lid of the vessel and the motion is driven by the rotation of t...

متن کاملElectromagnetic stirring in a microbioreactor with non‐conventional chamber morphology and implementation of multiplexed mixing
BACKGROUND Microbioreactors have emerged as novel tools for early bioprocess development. Mixing lies at the heart of bioreactor operation (at all scales). The successful implementation of micro-stirring methods is thus central to the further advancement of microbioreactor technology. The aim of this study was to develop a micro-stirring method that aids robust microbioreactor operation and fac...
