Effects of Geometrical Variables of Helical Ribbon Impellers on Mixing of Highly Viscous Newtonian Liquids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mixing patterns in agitated vessels equipped with various types of helical ribbon impellers are observed by using capsules of liquid crystal as a tracer. As a result, the optimumgeometrical variables for the mixing process are provided and the results explained by considering the relation between the mixing pattern and impeller geometry. A mathematical model is developed and applied in order to correlate the measure mixing times.

متن کاملHeat Transfer of Liquid/ Solid Fluidized Beds for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
The excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. In this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of Newtonian and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. New design equations have been developed ...
متن کاملRapid 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...
