Compartment Mixing Model in a Stirred Tank Equipped Dual Rushton Turbine

Numerical Comparison of Rushton Turbine and CD-6 Impeller in Non-Newtonian Fluid Stirred Tank

A computational fluid dynamics simulation is done for non-Newtonian fluid in a baffled stirred tank. The CMC solution is taken as non-Newtonian shear thinning fluid for simulation. The Reynolds Average Navier Stocks equation with steady state multi reference frame approach is used to simulate flow in the stirred tank. The turbulent flow field is modelled using realizable k-ε turbulence model. T...

A Study on Liquid-liquid Mixing in a Stirred Tank with a 6-Blade Rushton Turbine

The turbulent flow field generated in a baffled stirred tank was computed by large eddy simulation (LED) and the flow field was developed using the Sliding Mesh (SM) approach. In this CFD study, mixing times and power number have been determined for a vessel agitated by a 6-blade Rushton turbine. The predicted results were compared with the published experimental data. The satisfactory results ...

Computational 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...

Cfd Study of Mixing Process in Rushton Turbine

This paper reports on the CFD study of macro-mixing process of Rushton turbine in stirred tank. The code for mixing calculation is developed in the commercial CFD code CFX4.3. Mixing process simulation on different calculation method, different turbulent model and different tracer adding and detecting position are calculated. The simulation is three-dimensional and the impeller region is explic...
