Flow pattern monitoring of gas–liquid–solid mixed flow has great significance to enhance
the quality and efficiency of material mixing, and the material transport mechanism and …

For non-Newtonian fluids, an accurate determination of the shear rate is essential to
optimize process parameters, which can lead to the improvement of the process efficiency …

The flow energy efficiency of different impellers for stirring rheologically complex fluids (yield
stress fluids) in cylindrical tanks has been investigated in this paper. Four impellers have …

Fully turbulent fluid flows in a laboratory-scale stirred tank (ST) equipped with a radial flow
impeller (Rushton turbine; RT) or an axial flow impeller (pitched blade turbine; PBT) were …

For the aeration of highly viscous non-Newtonian fluids, prior studies have demonstrated the
improved efficacy of dual coaxial mixing bioreactors fitted with two central impellers and a …

The hysteresis effect of propeller jets in viscoelastic fluids provides a new idea for improving
the mixing process related to viscoelastic fluids, such as wastewater digestion. However, the …

The mixing of high viscosity and viscoelastic fluids may be performed in industry using a
“butterfly” impeller, which has received scant attention. This paper describes the …

The capabilities of 3-D-Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) to measure flow fields during the
blending of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a standard baffled cylindrical vessel are …

Agitation of highly viscous shear thinning fluids is normally conducted with complex impeller
designs. Often, impellers almost as large as the tanks containing them and impeller blades …

The mixing of ideal viscoelastic (Boger) fluids within a Kenics KM static mixer has been
assessed by the analysis of images obtained by Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) …
