Although there have been many published papers on mixing times in stirred tanks predicted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), there are few reports on the large eddy simulation (LES) based prediction of the mixing time in a gas―liquid stirred tank. In this work, an LES method based on an Eulerian―Eulerian model is presented for predicting the mixing time in a gas―liquid stirred tank agitated by a Rushton turbine. In order to verify the simulated results, mixing time experiments were carried out using a conductivity technique. In the present LES, the Smagorinsky subgrid scale model was used to model the effect of subgrid scale on the resolved scales. The concentration distributions and operating parameters such as feed positions, impeller speeds, and gas flow rates on the mixing time were examined It is shown that the predicted concentration distributions of tracers are more irregular and realistic by using LES. Also, the mixing time decreases with the increase of impeller speed. However, with increasing gas flow rate, the mixing time first increases and then levels off. The predicted mixing time by the LES method shows good agreement with the measured values.

Numerical simulation of barium sulfate precipitation process in a continuous stirred tank with multiple-time-scale turbulent mixer model / Qinghua Zhang in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N°1 (Janvier 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N°1 (Janvier 2009) . - P. 424-429 Titre : Numerical simulation of barium sulfate precipitation process in a continuous stirred tank with multiple-time-scale turbulent mixer model Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Qinghua Zhang, Editeur scientifique ; Zai-Sha Mao, Editeur scientifique ; Chao Yang, Editeur scientifique Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : P. 424-429 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Barium  sulfate  Mixing  of  reagents  Precipitation  processes Résumé : Mixing of reagents is very important in precipitation processes, as it can significantly affect the size distribution and morphology of products. In this work, the influence of turbulent mixing on the course of barium sulfate precipitation process in a continuous stirred tank was investigated with multiple-time-scale turbulent mixer model. The effect of various operating conditions such as feed concentration, stirrer speed, and mean residence time on the barium sulfate precipitation process was clearly demonstrated. The simulation results were compared to the literature data, and good agreement is observed.
