Turbulent liquid−liquid dispersion in sulzer SMX mixer / Theron, Félicie in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 49 N° 2 (Janvier 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 49 N° 2 (Janvier 2010) . - pp 623–632 Titre : Turbulent liquid−liquid dispersion in sulzer SMX mixer Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Theron, Félicie, Auteur ; Le Sauze, Nathalie, Auteur ; Ricard, Alain, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp 623–632 Note générale : Génie chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Turbulent  Sulzer  SMX  Turbulent  flow  Kolmogorov’s  theory. Résumé : This paper presents an experimental study of pressure drop of single-phase flow and liquid−liquid dispersion through a Sulzer SMX mixer in the turbulent flow regime. Emulsification experiments are performed with various numbers of mixing elements from 2 to 20 and different flow rates ranging from 204 to 600 L/h. Pressure drop in single phase flow when Re is greater than 800 is modeled using a correlation based on the Blasius approach. The pressure drop is quantified at high Reynolds numbers for a liquid−liquid system. The droplet size distribution evolves along the mixer, and 10 mixing elements are required to reach break-up coalescence equilibrium in the case of emulsification experiments. Finally, assuming Kolmogorov’s theory of isotropic turbulence, a new correlation is established to predict the Sauter mean diameter in this mixing device as a function of the Reynolds and Weber numbers as well as the number of mixing elements.
