고분자 반응기의 내부 유동 특성에 관한 연구

Study on the flow characteristics of the polymer reactors

This study is focused on investigating the characteristics of internal flow of the polymer reactor and its effect on the polymer quality. Four types of polymer reactor which have different kind of impeller, baffle and operation condition were calculated by CFD. Fluent 6 have been used to simulate mixing phenomena of reactor. According to the comparison of computational results and SEM photographs of polymer particle, distribution of turbulent dissipation rate greatly influences on the quality of polymer. So, distribution of turbulent dissipation rate to be important criterion to predict polymer quality.
