Abstract

Using a computational fluid dynamics technique, the flow characteristics and particle residence time in a Taylor reactor were studied. Since flow characteristics in a Taylor reactor are dependent on the operating conditions, effects of the inlet flow velocity and reactor rotational speed were investigated. In addition, the particle residence time of LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC), which is a cathode material in lithium-ion battery, is estimated in the Taylor vortex flow (TVF) region. Without considering the complex chemical reaction at the inlet, the effect of Taylor flow was studied. The results show that the particle residence time increases as the rotating speed increased and the flow rate decreased.
