Abstract
Abstract The mapping approach is applied to study the distributive mixing in the, widely industrially used, Kenics static mixer. The flexibility of the mapping method makes it possible to study and compare thousands of different mixer layouts and perform optimization with respect to macroscopic homogenization efficiency and interface generation. In the paper two different designs of the mixer are investigated. The conventional mixer with sequentially different twisted blades and adesign where the twist direction is maintained constant. In both cases the blade twist angle is varied. Recommendations are given in the choice of the design of the mixer dependent on the desired structure of mixing.
