Model for agglomeration

Illustration Kinetics of dispersion the two-zone model. The models for agglomerate rupture when integrated with a flow model are useful for the modeling of dispersion in practical mixers, as was discussed for the case of drop dispersion. Manas-Zloczower, Nir, and Tadmor (1982), in an early study, presented a model for the dispersion of carbon black in rubber in a Banbury mixer (Fig. 34). The model is based on several simplifying assumptions Fragmentation is assumed to occur by rupture alone, and each rupture produces two equal-sized fragments. Rupture is assumed to occur...
