Stirrers impeller

The apparatus consists of a stirred 11 Dewar flask with a lid (see Fig. A3.1). The stirrer impeller consists of angled blades and is rotated at a speed which ensures that the surface of the contents is agitated throughout the test. The level of insulation of the apparatus is such that the rate of heat loss is within the limits described in section A.5 below. The temperature of the contents is measured using a thermometer or recording thermocouple, immersed 60 mm below the static meniscus.

Close-Clearance Stirrers For some pseiidoplastic fluid systems stagnant fluid may be found next to the -essel walls in parts remote from propeller or turbine impellers. In such cases, an anchor impeller maybe used (Fig, 18-6), The fluid flow is principally circular or helical (see Fig, 18-7) in the direction of rotation of the anchor. Whether substantial axial or radial fluid motion also occurs depends on the fluid iscosity and the design of the upper blade-supporting spokes. Anchor agitators are used particularly to obtain irnpro ed heat transfer in high-consistency fluids,...

Grootseholten etal. (1982) diseuss the influenee of different impeller types on seeondary nueleation rates. There is some evidenee (Serutton etal. 1982) that seeondary nueleation rates are partieularly sensitive to small elearanees between the stirrer and a draft-tube by whieh the stirrer is shrouded. 

Compare the capital and operating costs of a three-bladed propeller with those of a constant speed six-bladed turbine, both constructed from mild steel. The impeller diameters are 0.3 and 0.45 m respectively and both stirrers ate driven by a 1 kW motor. What is the recommended speed of rotation in each case Assume operation for 8000 hr/year, power at 0.01/kWh and interest and depreciation at 15%/year. 

Several variations of the solvent removal technique were developed (6,7). For the PCPP-SA, 20 80, M = 16,000, microspheres were prepared as follows 1 g polymer was dissolved in 1 ml methylene chloride, drug or dye was suspended in the solution, mixed, dropped into silicon oil containing 1-5% of Span 85, and stirred at a known stirring rate. Stirring was done using an overhead stirrer and a three-blade impeller. After 1 hr, petroleum ether was introduced and stirring was continued for another hour. The microspheres were isolated by filtration, washed with petroleum ether, dried overnight in a lyophilizer, sieved, and stored in a freezer. 

Where the Reynolds stress formula (2) and the universal law of the theory of isotropic turbulence apply to the turbulent velocity fluctuations (4), the relationship (20) for the description of the maximum energy dissipation can be derived from the correlation of the particle diameter (see Fig. 9). It includes the geometrical function F and thus provides a detailed description of the stirrer geometry in the investigated range of impeller and reactor geometry 0.225derived from many turbulence measurements, correlation (9). 

The experimental results in Fig. 27 show the influence of the reactor system (see Fig. 28) on the disintegration of enzyme activity. It was found that the low-stress bladed impeller results in less activity loss than the propeller stirrer which causes much higher maximum energy dissipation ,. The gentle motion the blade impeller produces means that stress is so low that its disadvantage of worse micro mixing in NaOH (in comparison with the propeller) is more than compensated. 

A gas-inducing agitator system is an alternative to a multistirrer system. It contains a hollow shaft with orifices above the liquid level and a hollow impeller. A typical hollow impeller consists of a tube that is, at the centre, connected to the hollow shaft. Both ends of the impeller are cut at 45 so that, at rotation, the open portions of the tube are at the near side of the stirrer. There are several modifications of this design. Obviously, there is a minimum impeller speed at which the onset of gas induction occurs. Loop reactors are also successfully used. 

The FTS experiments were conducted in a 1 L CSTR equipped with a magnetically driven stirrer with turbine impeller, a gas inlet line, and a vapor outlet line with an stainless steel (SS) fritted filter (7.0 microns) placed external to the reactor. A tube fitted with an SS fritted filter (2.0 micron opening) extends below the liquid level of the reactor for withdrawing reactor wax to maintain a nearly constant liquid level in the reactor. Another SS dip tube (1/8 inch OD) extends to... 

The classical CRE model for a perfectly macromixed reactor is the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Thus, to fix our ideas, let us consider a stirred tank with two inlet streams and one outlet stream. The CFD model for this system would compute the flow field inside of the stirred tank given the inlet flow velocities and concentrations, the geometry of the reactor (including baffles and impellers), and the angular velocity of the stirrer. For liquid-phase flow with uniform density, the CFD model for the flow field can be developed independently from the mixing model. For simplicity, we will consider this case. Nevertheless, the SGS models are easily extendable to flows with variable density. 

A comparison between the two last correlations and experimental data for small laboratory reactors (25 to 300 cm3) equipped with a magnetic stirrer or a traditional six-blade impeller (not Rushton-type) and using a catalytic hydrogenation in organic solvent has been published (Fig. 45.5) [55].
