Visualization of Pseudocaverns in Stirred Vessels
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new technique for reconstructing the geometry of well-mixed regions (pseudocaverns for Newtonian fluids) in unbaffled vessels agitated with radial discharge impellers eccentrically placed has been developed for obtaining their three dimensional geometry. The mixer frame rotates at low speed allowing the video system to capture a sequence of pictures of the flow patterns by using the laser induced fluorescence technique. The recorded video sequence was used to isolate the contours of the pseudocaverns for reconstructing the three dimensional structure of the well-mixed regions within the tank.

Rigorous analysis of the determinants of volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) and its accurate forecasting are of vital importance for effectively designing and operating stirred reactors. Majority of the available literature is limited to systems with low solids concentration, while there has always been a need to investigate the gas-liquid hydrodynamics in tanks handling ...
متن کاملI-45: Color Doppler Sonography of Endometrium in Infertility Patients
Background Endometrial receptivity is one of parameters which determine the reproductive outcome in in vitro fertilization programs. A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an essential requirement for implantation. Blood vessels of the endometrium can be detected by transvaginal color and pulse Doppler sonography. Color Doppler assessment permits better visualiz...
متن کاملA New Approach to Characterize Suspensions in Stirred Vessels Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics
Fluid dynamics simulations were applied for evaluating the suspension of particles in stirred vessels. The spatial distribution of particles throughout the vessel was characterized by a single parameter, here called the suspension quality (σ). Based on simulation results, a semi-empirical correlation was developed that correlated the suspension quality with the vessel geometry and solid and flu...
متن کاملComputational Flow Modelling of Dual Rushton Impeller Stirred Vessels
Flow in baffled stirred vessels involve interactions between flow around rotating impeller blades and stationary baffles. When more than one impeller is used, which is quite common in practice, the flow complexity is greatly increased, especially when there is an interaction between the multiple impellers. The extent of interaction depends on relative distances between the impellers and clearan...
متن کاملEvaluation of two lattice Boltzmann methods for fluid flow simulation in a stirred tank
In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...
