Mixing process of immiscible fluids in microchannels
The paper is concerned with experimental investigations and numerical simulations of immiscible flows in microchannels in the presence of interfacial surface tension. The aim of the present study is to model the unsteady dynamics of the vortical structures and interface shape in the Y-branching geometries with square cross-sections. The tested fluids are Newtonian and weakly elastic polyacrylam...
متن کاملLaminar mixing of high-viscous fluids by a cylindrical chaotic mixer
Laminar mixing of glycerin in a chaotic mixer is carried by means of the blob deformation method. The mixer was a cylindrical vessel with two rotational blades which move along two different circular paths with a stepwise motion protocol. The flow visualization was performed by marking of the free surface of the flow with a tracer. The effects of controlling parameters such as rotational speed ...
متن کاملRayleigh–Taylor turbulent mixing of immiscible, miscible and stratified fluids
We propose a simple empirical model to describe the Rayleigh–Taylor RT turbulent mixing of immiscible, miscible and stratified fluids. For immiscible fluids, the rate of momentum loss is an invariant of the flow, whereas the energy dissipation rate increases linearly with time. Turbulent diffusion, accounted for through temperature fluctuations, does not terminate mixing but slows it down signi...
متن کاملinvestigation of mercaptan removal from Kerosene using passive mixing tools: Experimental study and CFD modeling
Abstract In this work, the role of appropriate mixing for mercaptan removal from Kerosene using caustic soda has been investigated in the pilot scale. Static mixer at different condition has been used as a passive mixing tool to achieve proper mixing and consequently high performance of mercaptan removal. Two lengths of static mixer including 20 and 40 cm as well as two pitches 1 and 3 m...
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...
