Mixing Tank Design Calculations
Mixing tank calculations are an important part of chemical engineering Simulations and calculations used in combination with hydrodynamic parameters can lead to efficient product processing and decrease the development time. This whole process will result in the optimized production of industrial chemical products (Alshanski et al., 2018). The equipment and calculations used are highly required to expand the yield or scale-up on […]
Scale-up
One of the riskiest and expensive stages in chemical engineering is the scale up process. Evidence shows that the expense and peril in the scale up process is due to the application of different equipment used in the processing of materials and the scale up methodology. This equipment has geometrical variations that can typically result in […]
Scale Up in Chemical Engineering
“The successful start up and operation of a commercial size unit whose design and operating procedures are in part based upon experimentation and demonstration at a smaller scale of operation.” This whole process is called “scale-up.” (Bentolila, Alshanski, Novoa, & Gilon, 2018). Chemical engineering is all about the conversion of raw products into beneficial ones and this chemical production takes place […]
Solid–Liquid Mixing
what is solid liquid mixture? A solid–liquid mixture consists of solid and liquid matter, suchas a mixture of sand and water or a mixture of salt and water. Mixing in solid–liquid systems is used for dispersing agglomerates, keeping the solid particles in suspension, blending various solid particles and colloids in a liquid, or blending two […]
Mixing Science and Practice
The Purpose of Mixing Let us start out by asking the question: what is the purpose of mixing? Then, we can understand why we need chemical mixing simulation. We carry out mixing in order to affect a process in a desired manner. For example, we blend miscible fluids to make concentrations and temperature more homogeneous […]
Liquid–liquid mixing: Impeller design for liquid–liquid dispersion using VisiMix RSD/Turbulent
In this article, we discuss liquid–liquid system in VisiMix and explain how we use Particle Vision Microscopy (PVM) PVM to calculate droplet size. For that we need the PVM droplet size to be matched to VisiMix in order to “calibrate” the model. But first, some background and explanation what do we do and then it […]
