| description | Numerical analysis of mixing and dissolution processes is becoming great significant
for achieving a process of consideration and optimizing the production. Owing to the
rising costs and deficiency of raw materials, “palm oil” processes are presently
employed together with standard experimental analysis. Numerical simulations have
confirmed to be a valuable instrument for understanding and enhancing industrial
mixing problems. However, such simulations are still in the research phase. Even
though Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful and validated method,
however, for more complicated applications (e.g., industrial mixing), more work is
still required to gain reliable results quickly enough. In this project concentrated on
the simulation of two type of tank to compare between normal baffle and fractal
baffle in mixing tank to get which one is the best of homogenizing. Approximations
were made with respect to improving batch sizes, tank geometry, impeller type,
baffle type, and placement and process variables, such as the impeller agitation
speed. In addition, the feeding position of the methanol. Finally, a quantitative
comparison of different stirring systems and scale-up studies was set. |
