This book is a compilation of the engineering data on mixing, which
have appeared in the major technical journals of chemical
engineering and bioengineering since 1975. That year marked the
beginning of a period of rapid advancement in the science and
technology of mixing, with rather reliable results for both
theoretical and experimental studies. In addition, some important
earlier articles which have been, and still are being referred to,
are included.
Designs of both agitators and tanks still depend primarily on art
and experience. In light of this it was felt that the data on
mixing should be compiled and presented in a systematic manner to
assist in design and analysis of agitated tanks, and to provide
easier access to mixing data for various engineering activities.
Although computer-aided searches of pertinent data bases can be of
assistance to chemical engineers and bioengineers in their studies,
they are sometimes time-consuming and often costly. Furthermore
inadequate selection of key words can jeopardize the searches. This
book offers an alternative method of surveying mixing data which
interests readers.
The first chapter presents a variety of results for the
experimental measurements of flow patterns in stirred tanks. Most
of the measurements were made by using modern Laser-Doppler
techniques. This chapter is useful for the prediction of flow
patterns in tanks with many different geometries, various types of
agitators, and fluids of diverse physical and rheological
properties, plus valuable data for the validation of results
obtained by CFD simulations. Chapters 2 through 5 deal with data
for traditional chemical engineering subjects and Chapter 6
summarizes a number of scale-up relations developed over the years
for various systems. These include liquid, solid-liquid,
liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, and solid-liquid-gas systems. Chapter 7
provides data related to multiphase processes, and most
importantly, drop size and drop-size distributions and bubble-size
distributions. These two subjects have not been treated
systematically either in text books or in handbooks on stirred-tank
mixing, although the results of both experimental and theoretical
investigations have been reported on many occasions. Finally
gas-inducing mechanically agitated systems are dealt with. The
applications of this type of agitation system will become
increasingly attractive from the standpoint of rationalization of
stirred-tank operations as well as environmental protection.
