Stirred vessels are being used not only in chemical processes for simple contacting or
blending operations, but also in novel configurations and processes, as in mineral …

The flow pattern and power number in a vessel depend on the impeller blade angle, number
of blades, blade width, blade twist, blade thickness, pumping direction and interaction of flow …

Numerical simulations of the flow field in baffled mixing tanks, based on three alternative
methods, are presented and discussed. In the first method, the impeller is not explicitly …

An updated review on suspension polymerization is presented. The time period from 1991 to
1995 is stressed, as well as research articles or reports not considered in previous reviews …

Previous correlations have focused on the relationship between the mean drop size and the
physical properties of the fluids (interfacial tension, density and viscosity), the volume …

Previous studies of the Rushton turbine have shown that the power number is sensitive to
the details of impeller geometry, and in particular to the blade thickness, but is independent …

This paper compares various methods which have been used for the estimation of turbulent
length scales, and/or the rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy (ε) in stirred tanks …

The maximum turbulence energy dissipation rate per unit mass, εmax, is an important
variable in dispersion systems, particularly for drop breakup and coalescence, and for gas …

Abstract Knowledge of the droplet size distribution (DSD) of spilled oil is essential for
accurate prediction of oil dissolution and biodegradation. To predict DSD in turbulent flow …

Electrical resistance tomography (ERT), which is a non-intrusive flow visualization
technique, was used to investigate the solid–liquid mixing in an agitated tank equipped with …
