Abstract322)      PDF (551KB)(269)      
The time series of instantaneous velocity in the Kenics static mixer, 0.04 m in diameter and 1.25 in aspect ratio, were conducted with laser Doppler particle analyzer. The signal of velocity fluctuation were decomposed into signals of different frequency band including 0~12.5, 12.5~25.0, 25.0~37.5, 37.5~50.0, 50.0~62.5, 62.5~75 Hz and more than 75 Hz based on Fourier transform. The linear and nonlinear correlation characteristics of signal of different frequency band were evaluated with auto-correlation function and mutual information function, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the signals of more than 62.5 Hz in frequency have no linear correlation, and there are no nonlinear and linear correlation for the time series signal which is over 75 Hz in frequency.

Abstract305)      PDF (2942KB)(401)      
The concentration response curves were calculated based on pulse tracer input technique by means of CFD method adopted RANS equations and renormalization group k-ε turbulence model. The characteristic of residence time distribution measured at different outlet with different inlet velocities and aspect ratios were ealeulated and analyzed by orthogonal experiment, and the orders of factors were ranked by the range analysis of mean value and square deviation. The results show that the order of axial back mixing coefficient is 10 -2, and the flowing state of the fluid in the kenics static mixer approaches plug flows. The mean residence time decreases with increasing flow rate of the fluid and increases with the increasing length and aspect ratio of the static mixers.
