Numerical Study of the Effect of a Power-law Fluid Flow Structures on Levels of Mixing in a Taylor Couette Configuration
Abstract:This work is a numerical study on the effects of the flow structures of the power-law fluid between two concentric cylinders with an upward laminar axial flow on levels of mixing and mean residence time through the Taylor Couette system. The cylindrical annular duct presents a radius ratio of 0.5 and an aspect ratio of 8. The inner cylinder is rotating while the outer one is kept at rest. The residence time distributions (R.T.D.) method and the mean residence time (Tm) are used to determine the number of tanks… Show more
