A Unified Model for the Mixing of Non‐Newtonian Fluids in the Laminar,Transition, and Turbulent Region

Summary: Non‐Newtonian fluid behavior has significant influence on quantities in chemical engineering like power input, mixing time, heat transfer etc. In the laminar flow region, the concept of effective viscosity by Metzner and Otto is well established. In the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow, the existing concepts use three and even more empirical parameters to determine the specific power input. Here, a unified and general but simple approach is introduced to calculate the power input for shear thinning fluids over the whole flow region using just one empirical parameter. The Metzner‐Otto relation is obtained as a limiting case for the laminar region. The empirical parameter of the new approach is related to the Metzner‐Otto constant. The concept is validated for eight different stirrer systems. Mixing time and maximum shear rate and heat transfer can also be calculated using this approach. The new concept presented should also be applicable for other apparatuses, e.g., static mixers.

水相酶促酯化法拆分dl－薄荷醇的连续操作

对影响脂肪酶活性、稳定性和对映选择性的因素，如有机溶剂和反应温度等首先进行了优化。其次，使用悬浮于环已烷的粉末状游离脂肪酶（ＣａｎｄｉｄａｃｙｌｉｎｄｒａｃｅａｌｉｐａｓｅＯＦ３６０）作生物催化剂，成功地构建了一个高效的非水相游离酶连续搅拌釜反应器。当使用高度反应性的丙酸酐作为薄荷醇的酰基给体，进行连续的酶促对映选择性酯化反应时，醇的转化率在两周内可保持４０％以上，所生成酯的光学纯度超过９５％ｅ．ｅ。但是，当使用相应的游离丙酸（而不是酸酐）作酰基给体时，薄荷醇的转化率在连续操作开始后迅速下降，表明使用酸酐时的生产力要比使用游离酸时高。最后，对底物溶液的浓度和流速进行了进一步优化；同时对反应器系统的含水量进行了监测，并通过对酸酐料液的浓度或流速进行微调的方法，有效地将有机溶液相的水分浓度控制在一定的范围（２～４ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）之内，结果，ｄｌ－薄荷醇对映选择性连续酯化反应非常稳定地运行了两个月之久（转化率４７～３５％，光学纯度９５～９８％ｅ．ｅ．），酶反应器的半衰期超过２００天。     

Numerical Study of Solid-Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Stirred Tanks with Rushton Impeller (Ⅰ) Formulation and Simulation of Flow Field

Three-dimensional solid-liquid flow is mathematically formulated by means of the "two-fluid" approach and the two-phase k-ε-Ap turbulence model. The turbulent fluctuation correlations appearing in the Reynolds time averaged governing equations are fully incorporated. The solid-liquid flow field and solid concentration distribution in baffled stirred tanks with a standard Rushton impeller are numerically simulated using an improved "inner-outer" iterative procedure. The flow pattern is identified via the velocity vector plots and a recirculation loop with higher solid concentration is observed in the central vicinity beneath the impeller. Comparison of     

Experimental and modelling study of gas dispersion in a double turbine stirred tank

Gas dispersion in a double turbine stirred tank is experimentally characterised by measuring local gas holdups and local bubble size distributions throughout the tank, for three liquid media: tap water, aqueous sulphate solution and aqueous sulphate solution with PEG. For all these media, bubble coalescence generally prevails over breakage. Where average bubble size decreases, this can be attributed to the difference in slip velocity between different sized bubbles. Most of the coalescence takes place in the turbine discharge stream.A compartment model that takes into account the combined effect of bubble coalescence and breakage is used to simulate gas dispersion. The model predicts spatial distribution of gas holdup and of average bubble size, with average bubble size at the turbines as an input. Reasonable agreement between experiment and simulation is achieved with optimisation of two parameters, one affecting mainly the slip velocity, the other related mainly to the bubble coalescence/breakage balance. Different sets of parameters are required for each of the three liquid systems under study, but are independent of stirring/aeration conditions. The model only fails to simulate the smaller average bubble diameters at the bottom of the tank.

涡轮桨变速搅拌槽内湍流混合的实验研究

以NaCl颗粒在水中的溶解为例,对湍流状态下周期性变速旋转的（改变桨叶转向或速度大小,分别称为周期性换向搅拌和周期性依时搅拌）Rushton桨搅拌槽内的混合特性进行了实验研究,并与稳速搅拌进行了对比。实验过程中测量了不同搅拌模式、不同桨叶安装高度时颗粒的溶解时间,结果证明,搅拌槽底部的流型对NaCl的溶解有重要影响;桨叶安装高度对溶解速度的影响不大,周期性依时搅拌时的溶解时间比稳速搅拌时稍短,而周期性换向搅拌则能明显加快溶解速度,提高混合效率。

鉴于目前储罐基底的隔震研究大都是在Haroun模型的基础上进行的.本文以储罐基底隔震为基础,从储罐的晃动、刚性运动、液固耦联弹性运动出发,根据储罐结构所满足的速度势和边界条件,选择合理的势函数,研究储罐动水压力、波高、基底剪力和弯矩的动响应理论表达.利用相同激励下原型罐和等效力学模型罐基底剪力和弯矩等效原则,求出储罐分析力学模型的等效质量及相对质心高度,建立了隔震三质点控制体系简化分析的力学模型,给出了储罐抗震设计参数波高、基底剪力和弯矩简化分析表达.由Harmilton原理出发,考虑晃动和罐——液耦联振动周期相差较大,将两者作为不耦联运动,建立了隔震体系的运动方程.并对2×104m3和15×104m3储罐隔震和非隔震地震响应进行了时程分析研究,结果表明,基底隔震体系起到了很好的隔震效应.     

Requirement of ultra-high voltage GIS arrester to voltage gradient of metal-oxide varistor

The surge arrester with excellent protection characteristics would decrease the overvoltage level ap- plied on the power apparatus to reduce their insulation levels and manufacturing bottleneck. The arrester for the 1000-kV ultra-high voltage ac power transmission system is designed as tank-type structure. The field-circuit combination numerical method combining the three-dimensional finite element method with circuit is proposed to analyze the potential distribution of GIS arrester. By comparing several design schemes, the most effective method to improve the potential distribution along the varistor column is to increase the voltage gradient of the ZnO varistor. Synthesizing several influential factors, the suitable voltage gradient of ZnO varistor should be controlled to 435 V/mm, and the resulted nonuniform degree of the potential distribution along the varistor column inside the GIS arrester would be controlled smaller than 10%. The result in this paper provides the fundamental technical index for the study of the high voltage gradient ZnO varistors.
