The cover feature image shows the industrial production of nanosheets. First, ingredients are poured into continuously stirred tank reactor. reacted solution is separated at next tank. suspension nanosheets centrifuged, and obtained packed vessels as concentrated suspensions. practical use requires development a facile versatile synthesis method controlling size low cost to be scaled up.

A drop-interaction model devised by the authors. which successfully predicts experimentally observed drop-size distributions in stirred batch vessels. has been used to assess the importance of droplet coalescence and redispersion in hydrocarbon fermentation yields. Calculations. which have been made with both n-alkane and gas-oil fermentations, have been compared with previous calculations base...

Devolatilization of solvents from viscous polymer cement is realized through stripping of solvent with steam in stirred vessels or directly by evaporating the solvent from the polymer. The later so-called direct desolventizing is realized in extruders or high volume kneaders. All 3 methods involve additional energy to drive out solvent either by partial pressure through additional steam (steam ...

The mixing of immiscible oil and water by a pitched blade turbine in cylindrical vessel is studied numerically. Three-dimensional simulations combined with hybrid front-tracking/level-set method are employed to capture the complex flow interfacial dynamics. A large eddy simulation approach, Lilly–Smagorinsky model, simulate turbulent two-phase dynamics at Reynolds numbers $Re=1802{-}18\ 026$ . ...

Particle breakage in stirred vessels is usually modeled using population balance equations (PBEs) to describe the evolution in particle size with time. Although shape has a strong effect on the particle properties and hence the product quality, changes in the particle shape distribution are typically neglected. To account for changes in both size and shape simultaneously, a multivariate populat...
