Mixing objectives

All styles and designs of mixing impellers produce either an axial-flow or a radial-flow of the fluid during the impeller rotation. There are, of course, degrees of variation of each of these patterns, v. hich then become a pan of the selection and specifying process to achieve tire mixing objective. 

Figure 5-3 highlights the most commonly used radial and axial flow impeller styles for process applications. Other styles/designs are used for special specific applications to accomplish the mixing objectives (Figures 5-4 and... 

Objects can be internally correlated in time or space. For mixed objects such as tanks (and the products that have been subjected to storage for longer or shorter times), rivers, lakes, gases and environmental air this correlation can be rendered by auto-correlagrams and modelled by a simple negative exponential function of the correlation distance. 

Determination of the maximum particle concentration is also of interest since it no longer constitutes a purely kinematical problem. Rather, the suspension contained within the unit cell is now a mixed object possessing both solid-like and liquid-like features. In particular, it behaves like a solid insofar as mutual impenetrability demands are concerned, whereas it behaves like a liquid in its ability to change its configuration (i.e., it can flow ). 

Environmental objectives are normally not well defined because economic objective functions normally involve profitability measures, whereas the value of reduced pollution is not easily quantified by economic measures. As a consequence, design teams often formulate mixed objective functions that attempt to express environmental improvements in financial terms. In other cases, the team may settle for the optimization of an economic objective function, subject to bounds on the concentrations of the solutes in the waste streams. It is important to assess whether the constraints are hard (not allowed to be violated) or soft (capable of being violated under unusual circumstances). Emphasis must be placed on the formulation of each constraint and the extent to which it must be honored. 

Since the 1960 s, two ideas have gained our attention the struggle against pollution before the first oil crisis of 1973 and the diminution of consumption since. One can consider, in fact, that the two objectives are linked. Indeed, any maladjustment of a fuel admission system will modify the equivalence ratio of the mix. The consequences are modifications, on one hand, of the consumption and on the other, of the nature and the quantity of pollutants emitted CO, NO, and unburned hydrocarbons. 

Considering existing microscopical techniques, one can find that non-destmctive information from the internal stmcture of an object in natural conditions can be obtained by transmission X-ray microscopy. Combination of X-ray transmission technique with tomographical reconstmction allows getting three-dimensional information about the internal microstmcture [1-3]. In this case any internal area can be reconstmcted as a set of flat cross sections which can be used to analyze the two- and three-dimensional morphological parameters [4]. For X-ray methods the contrast in the images is a mixed combination of density and compositional information. In some cases the compositional information can be separated from the density information [5]. Recently there has been a... 

Fig. 1 shows the block diagram of the vibrometer, in which the most sensible to small phase variations interferometric scheme is employed. It consists of the microwave and the display units. The display unit consists of the power supply 1, controller 2 of the phase modulator 3, microprocessor unit 9 and low-frequency amplifier 10. The microwave unit contains the electromechanical phase modulator 3, a solid-state microwave oscillator 4, an attenuator 5, a bidirectional coupler 6, a horn antenna 7 and a microwave detector 11. The horn antenna is used for transmitting the microwave and receiving the reflected signal, which is mixed with the reference signal in the bidirectional coupler. In the reference channel the electromechanical phase modulator is used to provide automatic calibration of the instrument. To adjust the antenna beam to the object under test, the microwave unit is placed on the platform which can be shifted in vertical and horizontal planes.

The application of these ideas to the mixing of low molecular weight liquids has been the object of extensive research. As a result of these investigations, the appropriate kind of hybridization of individual molecular properties in W12 is found to be the geometrical mean ... 

Weighing is the operation of determining the mass of any material as represented by one or more objects or by a quantity of bulk material. Proportioning is the control, by weighing, of relative quantities of two or more ingredients according to a specific recipe in order to make a mixed product, or to prepare the ingredients for use in a chemical process.
