Abstract

Particle trajectory and residence time calculations are useful for theoretical analyses of laminar flow devices such as motionless mixers. A consistent methodology is given for these calculations together with sample results for the partitioned-pipe mixer. Of particular significance is a correction for end-effects at the transitions between mixing elements. Some previous treatments violated a local mass balance and used an improper weighting of residence time data. The new methodology shows substantial differences in the calculated streamlines and in the residence time distribution compared with previous results.
