in order to simulate the rotating disk contactor all hydrodynamic parameters, dispersed phase hold-up, characteristic velocity, mean drop size, drop size distribution, axial mixing and mass transfer have been taken into account. mechanisms of mass transfer (stagnant, circulating, oscillating drops) were used in this study. column height found from effect of mean drop size and drop size distribu...

drop size distribution in a mixer-settler is an essential design parameter, as obtaining drop size distribution will result in optimum performance of equipment. in this paper for obtaining drop size, several experiments have been performed with a single stage horizontal mixer-settler. a video technique has been used in order to measure the drop size in the mixer-settler with the help of a digit...

an experimental study has been conducted on the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain an appropriate design. in this paper several tests was performed to investigate full factorial design of experiments. since each test was repeated seven times, the repeatability of the test was confirmed (p=1 bar and t=25 °c). sauter diameter was determined by photographing both the mixer and settle...

The droplet size distribution in the column is usually represented as the average volume to surface area, known as the Sauter mean drop diameter. It is a key variable in the extraction column design. A study of the drop size distribution and Sauter-mean drop diameter for a liquid-liquid extraction column has been presented for a range of operating conditions and three different liquid-liquid sy...

Wind tunnel measurements of drop size distributions from Micronair AU4000 and AU5000 rotary atomizers were collected to develop a database for model use. The measurements varied tank mix, flow rate, air speed, and blade angle conditions, which were correlated by multiple regressions (average R2 = 0.995 for AU4000 and 0.988 for AU5000). This database replaces an outdated set of rotary atomizer d...
