Abstract
Abstract This paper deals with the modelling of a Sulzer-Koch motionless mixer. A flow model involving convection and diffusion has been solved to characterize the dispersive mixing in one node of the network and this result was then complemented by a network analysis to obtain the flow distribution. Experimental data are in general agreement with the theory. The approach of this study is shown to provide valuable conclusions about the design of the mixer and to complement the more commonly used integral or statistical treatments. In particular, it has been shown that the ratio of internal resistances controls the distributive mixing in one mixer unit and that significant convective mass transport takes place within the node even when there is no net cross-flow.
