Abstract

AbstractFlow patterns In various processing equipment were obtained based on 3D isothermal flow simulations. These flow patterns were further processed for mixing efficiency analysis. The dynamics of the mixing process was studied numerically by means of tracers and their trajectories In the processing equipment. Dispersive mixing efficiency was studied in terms of shear stresses and elongational flow components distributions. Distributive mixing efficiency was characterized using length stretch distributions and average values. Features of chaotic flow were also analyzed. The framework developed to analyze mixing efficiency opens the way for an unambiguous evaluation of equipment performance and for process optimization.
