Abstract:New definitions of the Reynolds and power numbers proposed by Farhat, Fradette, and Tanguy (2008) for coaxial mixers were discussed and extended to some other types of multishaft mixers not considered previously. The results confirmed that these new correlations are also applicable for the dual shaft mixer configurations and the Superblend mixer. This universal applicability allowed the authors to experimentally investigate and compare the power consumption and the mixing time in the coaxial, the dual shaft, a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
