Abstract
A modified coalescence—dispersion model has been developed for the axial mixing of segregating particle systems in a motionless mixer (Kenics mixer). This model is capable of generating the concentration distribution as a function of time and its applicability is not constrained by the initial concentration distribution in the mixture. Two important parameters in this model are the coalescence rate and the distribution ratio. It has been found that the former can be correlated as a linear function of the number of helices in the mixer, and the latter depends heavily upon the physical properties of the individual particles. The validity of the present model has been tested against the available experimental data [16].
