Abstract
The objective of the present work is to characterize and investigate the effect of aspect ratio and twist angle of elements on the pressure drop predictions in Kenics static mixers using three-dimensional CFD approach. Twenty different kinds of Kenics mixers have been characterized. The numerical approach took into account the relationship between pressure drop and aspect ratio and relationship between pressure drop and twist angle at high Reynolds number within the Kenics mixer, which was neglected in previous studies. It is found from the study that the pressure drop is the function of aspect ratio and twist angle with a specified geometry at a certain flow rate.
