Fluid Mixing Nonequilibrium Processes in Industrial Piping Flows

Fluid Flow in Piping Systems

© 1989 Johnson Controls, Inc. 1 Code No. LIT-351H110 The relationship between the many factors which influence the pressure and flow rate within a hydronic system can sometimes seem very confusing. This report provides a simple systematic approach for analyzing basic hydronic systems. These concepts can later be applied to more complicated systems like those discussed in Engineering Reports H11...

Radiotracer Technology in Mixing Processes for Industrial Applications

Many problems associated with the mixing process remain unsolved and result in poor mixing performance. The residence time distribution (RTD) and the mixing time are the most important parameters that determine the homogenisation that is achieved in the mixing vessel and are discussed in detail in this paper. In addition, this paper reviews the current problems associated with conventional trac...

Complex Fluid Mixing Flows: Simulation vs. Theory vs. Experiment

It is an old saw that science has as its three pillars theory, experiment, and simulation. That we can believe simulation when the three do not agree is a testament to a newfound credence for simulations. Our story concerns widely different simulation and experimental results in a problem of long standing: determination of the rates of chaotic mixing resulting from acceleration across a fluid d...

A Domain Decomposition Strategy for Simulation of Industrial Fluid Flows

Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling of Atomisation Processes in Turbulent Flows

Atomisation of liquids is frequently encountered in the liquid-gas flows used in many practical chemical and process engineering applications, and an ability to reliably predict such flows is of benefit to the optimisation and performance improvement of existing equipment and processes, as well as the evaluation of retrofit options and the design of new equipment, systems and plant. This paper ...
