Description
This book is a compilation of the engineering data on mixing, which have appeared in the major technical journals of chemical engineering
and bioengineering since 1975. That year marked the beginning of a period of rapid advancement in the science and technology of mixing,
with rather reliable results for both theoretical and experimental studies. In addition, some important earlier articles which have been,
and still are being referred to, are included.
Designs of both agitators and tanks still depend primarily on art and experience.
In light of this it was felt that the data on mixing should be compiled and presented in a systematic manner to assist in design and
analysis of agitated tanks, and to provide easier access to mixing data for various engineering activities. Although computer-aided searches
of pertinent data bases can be of assistance to chemical engineers and bioengineers in their studies, they are sometimes time-consuming
and often costly. Furthermore inadequate selection of key words can jeopardize the searches. This book offers an alternative method of
surveying mixing data which interests readers.
The first chapter presents a variety of results for the experimental measurements
of flow patterns in stirred tanks. Most of the measurements were made by using modern Laser-Doppler techniques. This chapter is useful
for the prediction of flow patterns in tanks with many different geometries, various types of agitators, and fluids of diverse physical
and rheological properties, plus valuable data for the validation of results obtained by CFD simulations. Chapters 2 through 5 deal with
data for traditional chemical engineering subjects and Chapter 6 summarizes a number of scale-up relations developed over the years for
various systems. These include liquid, solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, and solid-liquid-gas systems. Chapter 7 provides data
related to multiphase processes, and most importantly, drop size and drop-size distributions and bubble-size distributions. These two
subjects have not been treated systematically either in text books or in handbooks on stirred-tank mixing, although the results of both
experimental and theoretical investigations have been reported on many occasions. Finally gas-inducing mechanically agitated systems
are dealt with. The applications of this type of agitation system will become increasingly attractive from the standpoint of rationalization
of stirred-tank operations as well as environmental protection.
