Mixing Tank Case Study for Hexon Engineering
Geometry
Operating Conditions
- Fluid Properties
Density = 1100 kg/m3
Viscosity = 1000 cP
- Operating Volume
Liquid Level = 1600 mm
Volume = 2.14 m3
- Impeller Speed = 95 RPM
Results : Flow Pattern
Velocity Contours and Vector Plots
- A single flow circulation loop formed by the agitator
- As the tank is un-baffled the flow is highly rotational A single flow circulation loop formed by the agitator
Results : Mixing Profile
• Mixing time (95% Uniformity) is 8 s
Predicted Vortex Shape
Note
- Impeller-1 is the bottom most impeller
- TKE is the turbulent kinetic energy
- TDR is the turbulent dissipation rate
