轴流式翼型-透平组合桨在搅拌釜内的流动

<正>搅拌反应器是化工、医药、食品工业中广泛应用的基础设备之一,当搅拌釜内液深与搅拌釜直径相比较大时(通常比值大于1),往往采用双层或多层桨,以保证顶部到底部的循环流动。 透平桨产生的是径向流,形成以桨叶为中心线的上、下2个循环区,桨叶附近剪切速率高,气体分散能力强。翼型桨产生的流型是轴向流,形成全釜循环,混合均匀,剪切温和。为充分利用两者优势,加强全釜混合,剪切适度,特别是在粘稠物系中,可采用组合桨。目前尚未看到对翼型-透平组合桨流动状况的研究,而对于非牛顿流体中的组合桨流动状况则了解

搅拌槽内气液两相混沌混合及分散特性

传统Rushton刚性桨常应用于过程工业中搅拌反应器内的气液分散过程,但由于桨叶背后易形成较大的气穴,气液混合效果较差。为了提高搅拌槽内气液两相的混合效果,提出了一种刚柔组合桨强化气液两相的分散过程。利用LabVIEW软件处理刚性桨和刚柔组合桨体系中气液混合过程的压力脉动信号,通过Matlab软件编程计算最大Lyapunov指数（LLE）,分析气液混合体系的混沌混合行为,同时,对刚性桨和刚柔组合桨体系中的相对搅拌功耗、整体气含率、局部气含率进行测量。结果表明,在功耗为170 W,通气量为10 m³·h^-1条件下,与刚性桨相比,刚柔组合桨能够通过刚-柔-流的耦合作用促进桨叶能量的传递过程,提高搅拌体系的混沌混合程度,刚柔组合桨体系的LLE提高了8.89%。同时,在相同操作条件下,与刚性桨相比,刚柔组合桨能够有效提高相对搅拌功耗以及搅拌槽内的整体气含率和局部气含率,且搅拌槽内气体分散更为均匀。     

Fractional gas hold-up in gas inducing type of mechanically agitated contactors

Fractional gas hold up was measured in gas inducing type of mechanically agitated contactors (GIMAC) with single and multiple impellers. Three vessels of 0.57, 1.0 and 1.5 m i.d. were used. For the multiple impeller system, six different impeller designs were employed. The impeller speed was varied in the range of 0.30 to 15.45 s^?1. The ratio of impeller diameter to tank diameter (D/T), the submergence (S) of the upper impeller, the clearance of the lower impeller from the tank bottom (C₁) and the impeller spacing (C₃) were varied over a wide range. The design of the lower impeller was optimized in terms of diameter (D), blade width (W), blade angle (Bø), number of blades (n_b) and the blade thickness (t_b). An optimum design has been proposed for the multiple impeller system. Rational correlations have been proposed.     

Gas hold-up behavior of mechanically agitated gas-liquid reactors using pitched blade downflow turbines

Fractional gas holdup was measured in 0.57, 1.0, and 1.5 m i.d. vessels. Pitched blade downflow turbines (PTD) were used as the impeller. Design details of the impeller, such as the impeller diameter (0.22 T to 0.5 T) and blade width (0.25 D to 0.4 D), were studied. The effect of sparger type, geometry and size on fractional gas hold-up has been investigated in detail. Four different types of spargers (pipe, conical, ring and concentric ring spargers) were used. Sparger location was varied for all the types studied. Further, design details of the ring sparger, which gave the highest hold-up were then studied in detail. These included ring diameter, number of holes and hole size. All the reported correlations for fractional gas hold-up in mechanically agitated gas-liquid reactors were tested and compared. A better correlation has been developed for pitched blade turbines.

Gas hold-up and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient in an aerated agitated vessel without baffles having forward-reverse rotating impellers

Gas hold-up and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient were studied in a gas-liquid contactor without baffles, containing multiple impellers with four delta-type blades. The blades of each adjacent impeller were offset by 45° in an alternating manner. The direction of rotation of the impellers periodically was reversed. This new type of agitated gas-liquid contactor was denoted as “AJITER”. The effects of the gas sparging rate, the forward-reverse agitation rate and the number of impellers on the gas hold-up and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient in the AJITER when different types of gas spargers were used were evaluated experimentally for an air-water system. Empirical relationships are presented to predict the gas hold-up and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient. The differences in performance between the AJITER and existing types of gas-liquid contactors are discussed in terms of the differences in the gas hold-up and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient due to changes in the superficial gas velocity.

运用粒子图像测速仪研究双层Rushton桨搅拌槽内湍流特性

Particle Image Velocimetry （PIV） has been used to investigate turbulence characteristics in a 0.48 m diameter stirred vessel filled to a liquid height （ H = 1.4T ） of 0.67 m. The agitator had dual Rushton impellers of 0.19 m diameter （ D = 0.4T ）. The developed flow patterns depend on the clearance of the lower impeller above the base of the vessel, the spacing between the two impellers, and the submergence of the upper impeller below the liq- uid surface. Their combinations can generate three basic flow patterns, named, parallel, merging and diverging flows. The results of velocity measurement show that the flow characteristics in the impeller jet flow region changes very little for different positions. Average velocity, trailing vortices and shear strain rate distributions for three flow patterns were measured by using PIV technique. The characteristics of trailing vortex and its trajectory were described in detail for those three flow patterns.
Since the space-resolution of PIV can only reach the sub-grid rather than the Kolmogorov scale, a large-eddy PIV analysis has been used to estimate the distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation. Comparison of the distributions of turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate in merging flow shows that the highest turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation are both located in the vortex regions, but the maxima are at somewhat different lo- cations behind the blade. About 37% of the total energy is dissipated in dual impeller jet flow regions. The obtained distribution of shear strain rate for merging flow is similar to that of turbulence dissipation, with the shear strain rate around the trailing vortices much higher than in other areas.

Experimental and CFD investigation of power consumption in a dual Rushton turbine stirred tank

Power consumption of a mixing system is a key variable in chemical and bioprocess engineering, the determination of which is of interest of many processes. Besides, prediction of the flooding-loading transition in an aerated stirred tank is crucial for the correct design of aerated stirred tank reactors. In this research, laboratory investigation has been carried out on local and total power consumption of a single phase as well as gas-liquid phase systems in a fully baffled stirred tank equipped with dual six-blade Rushton turbines; moreover, the flow regime behavior of a gas-liquid system was investigated. Results have been compared with data obtained from CFD simulation of experimental setup and the data available in the literature. Reasonable agreement between the experimental and simulation results indicates the validity of the CFD model. Using predicted data some empirical correlations have been derived which present new relations in estimation of power consumption and flow regime transitions in stirred tanks with dual Rushton impellers.
