液体连续相撞击流特性及其在超细粉体制备中的应用

20世纪90年代以来撞击流领域研究重点转向以液体为连续相。液体连续相撞击流(US)具有有效促进微观混合和存在压力波动的特性,从而有利于超细粉体的制备。实验结果表明,浸没循环撞击流反应器(SCISR)是反应一沉淀法制取超细粉体的一种优越的反应技术装备。     

基于制备超细复合含能材料的对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合性能

由于对置受限式撞击流反应器较高的传热及混合效率,能够制备出粒径小、均匀且分布范围窄的超细颗粒。本文采用碘化物-碘酸盐平行竞争反应体系研究入射速度、结构尺寸对对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合效果的影响规律,并将混合腔尺寸同等比例放大一倍进行对比研究。结果表明,随着入射速度的增大,离集指数减小,微观混合效果提高。喷嘴间距与喷嘴直径比的增大使得离集指数增大,微观混合效果降低。离集指数随着混合腔高度、混合腔出口尺寸的增大呈现先增大后减小的趋势,且混合腔高度对混合效果的影响较混合腔出口尺寸显著。将对置受限式撞击流反应器混合腔尺寸扩大一倍,离集指数增加到原来的2.4倍,微观混合效果显著下降,但是在较大入射速度下,两种结构的混合效果差距减小。研究结果可为纳米复合含能材料的制备提供高效、安全的技术支持。     

碘化物-碘酸盐体系离集指数计算式的修正

从1953年Danckwerts提出离集的概念到现在,微观混合研究已有50多年的历史．所谓微观混合是指分子尺度上的均匀化过程,即通过破碎和变形使未混合的液体微元尺度减小,再由分子扩散达到最后混合．由于缺乏足够的分辨率,以物理现象为基础的方法难以满足微观混合研究的需要,因此采用化学反应作为分子探头的化学方法就成了目前最常用的研究微观混合的方法．这些反应可以分为3类：     

Non-isothermal micromixing in turbulent liquids: Theory and experiment

Partial segregation of reagents occurs when reaction rates exceed mixing rates and frequently causes product distributions to be mixing-dependent. A simultaneous temperature segregation, whereby the temperature in a reaction zone differs from that in its surroundings, has rarely been considered when mixing reagents in the liquid phase. The Prandtl number is usually sufficiently small that engulfment, not thermal conduction, determines the local temperature. The engulfment model of micromixing can then be extended by a heat balance to specify this temperature. To evaluate this model, a new pair of fast competitive reactions (neutralisation and acetal hydrolysis) has been characterised thermochemically and kinetically. A Mettler RC1 calorimeter was operated under isothermal and adiabatic conditions with various stirrer speeds and HCl was slowly added to a mixture of NaOH and 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Measured hydrolysis yields compared quite well with the extended engulfment model, although temperature segregation was of minor importance. It was also unimportant in other reaction systems (simultaneous neutralisation and ester hydrolysis; diazo coupling) employed earlier to study micromixing. Suggestions for further work are made.     

内置周期挡板的T-型微混合器

设计了一种流道内布置周期挡板结构的高效T-型微混合器来提高微流控系统的混合效率。该微混合器结构简单,周期布置的挡板可以有效地缩短流体混合所需的流道长度和时间,混合效率高。安排了正交实验组,利用计算流体力学软件ANSYS CFX研究了流道结构参数对混合效果的影响。采用静态田口分析法对数值模拟结果进行分析。结果表明:流道结构参数对混合效果的相对影响程度排列如下:挡板攻角(θ)流道高度(H)挡板宽度(L)相邻混合单元之间距离(D)。根据结构参数对混合效果的影响程度,得出研究参数范围内的最优组合为:θ=75°,H=0.4 Wm,L=0.7 Wm,D=0.6 Wm(这里Wm为流道宽度,等于200μm)。实验显示,结构参数符合最优参数组合的微混合器的混合效果提升显著,雷诺数Re=54时即可实现完全混合(混合指标M95%)。文中研究了流道结构对进出口压降的影响,结果显示,攻角θ对进出口压降的影响趋势在不同雷诺数下相同,参数H,D亦如此。     

Side-Tee混合器内微观混合行为研究

选用碘化物-碘酸盐体系,利用化学探针法对Side-Tee混合器在较高雷诺数下微观混合效率进行了研究。考察了不同影响参数(如雷诺数、体积流率比、反应物浓度、粘度、管径)对Side-Tee混合器微观混合性能的影响,并用离集指数来表征其微观混合特性。结果表明,雷诺数大于12 000后碘化物-碘酸盐反应体系对混合器内微观混合状况不敏感。基于团聚模型,估算出Side-Tee混合器在实验条件下的微观混合时间为3×10-5~3×10-4s。表明这一型式的反应器对于快速反应尤其是纳米材料制备过程具有替代传统搅拌槽反应器的优势。

Application of direct fluid flow oscillations to improve mixing in microbioreactors

This article describes an active mixing method for a microbioreactor that was designed, simulated, tested, and successfully implemented. By applying a varying pressure to a microchannel looping tangentially into a cylindrical microreactor an oscillating fluid flow was shown to occur. Such an oscillating fluid flow improved mixing, both by diffusion and convection. The oscillating fluid flow has a large impact on the ratio between the diffusion domain and the convection domain. A good match was obtained between experimental mixing results, computational fluid dynamics simulation results and the results of a simplified mixing model thus demonstrating the potential of simulation on improving the design of microreactors. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009     

Investigation of the collapse of bubbles after the impact of a piston on a liquid free surface

A novel technique based on the impact of a piston on a liquid confined in a vessel is described. Pressure measurements reveal that strong pressure variations (up to 100 atmospheres) with a rich content of frequencies are efficiently transmitted to the liquid. High‐speed camera visualizations show that pre‐existing millimetric bubbles always collapse during the first instants of the impact whereas the behavior of submillimetric bubbles depends on the features of the pressure evolution in the system. In addition to the impact velocity, the amount of gas/vapor trapped between the piston and the liquid's surface plays an important role on how pressure evolves. Only when negative pressure occurs tiny bubbles grow significantly and collapse. The violent collapse of bubbles promote turbulence and mixing at very small length‐scales which renders this technique interesting to intensify processes limited by heat and mass diffusion. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 2483–2495, 2017
