Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A new technique has been developed which will allow a detailed study of the axial distribution of the drop phase in liquid-liquid mixing. The technique is based on light transmission measurements in liquid-liquid systems of matched refractive index. The technique allows the quantitative study of the influence of impeller speed, impeller size and design, and the influence of the physical properties of liquid-liquid systems. It is anticipated that the knowledge gained will be of both fundamental and practical interest. Fundamentally the understanding of the liquid-liquid mixing process will be enhanced in a manner analogous to that experienced in recent work in particle-liquid mixing. A new generation of quantitative data will become available for modelling and computational fluid dynamics studies. Practically the data obtained should provide a better basis for design than existing qualitative data, giving opportunities for reduced capital and running costs with correspondingly reduced levels of entrainment.
