| Abstract: | A jet-mixed vessel can create a flow pattern similar to that in an agitated vessel with paddle impeller. Tangential flow
and circulation flow can be provided by using a jet nozzle fixed at the center of a cylindrical vessel, where circulation flow can
be controlled by varying angle of jet nozzle and jet flow rate. Numerical studies were performed using k-e turbulence models
using computational fluid dynamic software FLUENT 6.1 to examine the effects of shape of tank on flow pattern and mixing
characteristics in a jet mixer. Results show that better mixing is obtained for cylindrical bottom than the flat bottom for the
same total mass flow rate. |
