Particle Flow Modelling in Slurry‐Fed Stirred Vessels

Despite its importance, experimental information on the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) of solid particles in continuous‐flow stirred vessels is still scant. In this work, experimental data on particle RTD in a high‐aspect‐ratio vessel stirred by three equally‐spaced Rushton turbines, obtained by means of Twin Systems Approach (TSA), are employed to assess the suitability of the well known Axial‐Dispersion Model to describe particle behavior in the investigated system. The data analysis and model parameter assessment are preceded by a discussion on the utility of self‐recirculated systems in carrying out experiments concerning continuous slurry‐fed apparatuses. In particular, the suitability of single recirculated systems is discussed and a way to extract numerical RTD data from the relevant experiments is proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of employing instead a couple of twin systems, as it was actually done to obtain the experimental data employed in this work, is shortly discussed.     

The Relationship Between Hysteresis and Liquid Flow Distribution inTrickle Beds

Experiments were conducted on a trickle bed with 0.283 m ID to eluddate the relation-ship between hysteretic phenomena and liquid distribution. The hysteresis of pressure drop and the variance of radial liquid distribution were observed simultaneously. Residence time dlstribu-tion (KTD), holdup and mean residence time (RT) of liquid phase were also found to demonmtrate hystereels of the same nature. RTD, liquid holdup and mean RT calculated with a simple model from the distribution of liquid flow rate show chaxacteristic consistant with the experlmeataJ data, suggesting that the hyteretic phenomena originate from the multiplicity and nonuniformity of liquid flow distribution.     

The axial dispersion performance of an oscillatory flow meso-reactor with relevance to continuous flow operation

A laboratory scale continuous oscillatory flow meso-reactor was developed and residence time distribution (RTD) studies were carried out in order to establish certain process characteristics of the system. In particular, the dispersion coefficient as a function of the primary variables was established. Using optical probes the axial dispersion was investigated by monitoring the response of a pulse dye tracer at different locations within the meso-reactor. Three cases, net flow without oscillation, oscillation without net flow, and oscillation plus net flow were studied over a range of oscillation frequencies, amplitudes, and net flow rates. Both the imperfect and the perfect pulse injection methods were used to determine the axial dispersion coefficient for the system with and without net flow. The axial dispersion coefficient and the dimensionless dispersion number were analysed in the context of different flow conditions. A correlation was established and demonstrated that the axial dispersion within the meso-reactor could be quantified as a function of flow conditions. The results showed that the laboratory continuous flow meso-reactor was able to produce plug flow with modest axial dispersion over a wide range of parameter space, thereby indicating efficient mixing and effective RTD performance.     

Liquid backmixing in oscillatory flow through a periodically constricted meso-tube

This paper deals with the measurement and modelling of axial liquid dispersion in a 4.5 mm internal diameter tube provided with smooth-periodic constrictions (meso-tube) in steady and oscillatory flow conditions. The residence time distribution (RTD) in the meso-tube was monitored for a range of fluid oscillation frequency (f) and amplitude (x₀) at laminar flow. The RTD response was modelled with three hydrodynamic models: (i) tanks-in-series, (ii) tanks-in-series with backflow and (iii) plug flow with axial dispersion. The steady flow through the meso-tube at flow rates up to 21.30 ml/min resulted in broad RTDs, mainly due to the parabolic velocity profile. The use of fluid oscillations allowed a fine-control of the axial liquid dispersion in the meso-tube due to generation of secondary flow in the regions between the constrictions. The axial dispersion coefficient D was reduced by up to 13-fold in comparison with the steady flow situation. Values of x₀ ≤ 1 mm and f = 10 Hz generally resulted in a maximum reduction in axial dispersion through, therefore maximum improvements in RTD. The tanks-in-series model was generally not capable of predicting RTDs in the meso-tube. The potential of this platform for the continuous, sustainable production of added-value products is herein demonstrated.
