A model of the coagulation process with solid particles and flocs in a turbulent flow

Scale-up behaviour in stirred square flocculation tanks

“…7, the lower energy input creates a steeper slope and, thus, the difference between the LC curve and the OI curve increases. This can be the reason for the increase in the spatial variation when energy input decreases as has been reported by various authors (Hopkins and Ducoste, 2003;Schuetz and Piesche, 2002;Kilander et al, 2006). In contrast, increasing energy input decreases the angle of intersection, , Fig.…”

“…a stirred tank, has local deviations in space and time since the net build-up and net break-up of flocs occur in different areas. Schuetz and Piesche (2002) have found that the assumption of using an ideally mixed reactor cannot be maintained for the prediction of floc size distribution.…”

CFD simulation of aggregation and breakage processes in laminar Taylor–Couette flow

“…b and y will be determined by fitting the CFD simulation to the experimental data. A more detailed discussion about the use of powerlaw breakage kernels can be found in [17,39,40].…”

CFD simulation of shear-induced aggregation and breakage in turbulent Taylor–Couette flow

“…One form of the breakage rate kernel that has found application to a wide variety of fragmentation phenomena is the power law distribution [2,[24][25][26]:…”
