Abstract:Mixing different fluids is common in many industrial applications. Distillation columns (vapour and liquid), solvent extraction (liquid and liquid), and gas-sparged reactors (gas and liquid) in the refining and biochemical industries are typical examples. In these operations, the interfacial area limits the inter-fluid heat, mass and momentum transfer and, ultimately, the overall process performance. To better understand the mixing process, we are developing a two-fluid model that predicts interfacial area gen… Show more
