Turbulent Mixing of a Two-phase Reaction Mixture

Among various devices used for the generation of dispersed systems with a well-developed surface, volume devices are one of the most widespread. They are characterised by the presence of an external turbulisation source (an agitator) and 

A cornerstone of effective fast chemical reactions is the generation of dispersed systems in a turbulent flow within tubular devices [32,57,58-62]. It has been experimentally proven that highly dispersed emulsions form in the range of  

While the required amount of energy is provided by the flow rate only, which should be about 5-15 m/s [61]. However, [32] demonstrates that the emulsification efficiency can be achieved by an increase ( 30°) of the conical widening at the reactor s input zone. At the same time, the effective dispersing of flows, different in density and viscosity, requires a value at the reactor s input in the range of 0.065-0.080 m /s, as well as its stability along the axis of the device [32, 57].
