Abstract
In this study, computer-automated radioactive particle tracking (CARPT) is implemented for the first time in the characterization of flows in stirred tanks. Both the experimental technique and the experimental set-up are discussed. The CARPT technique is seen to capture qualitatively most of the important flow phenomena observed in stirred tank flows, like the two recirculating loops above and below the impeller and the dead zones at the bottom of the tank. The CARPT data is also used to extract “Sojourn” time distributions in different zones of the reactor. These distributions are used to partially quantify the observed dead and active zones in the tank.
