Abstract
In the chemical, mineral and electronics, mechanically stirred tanks are widely used for complex liquid mixing processes. The paper present results from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for the mixing tank in casing process. We used CFD software, FLUENT(Fluent, Inc, Lebanon, NH, version 6.2). A species transport model was used to model the problem. The flow patterns in a mixing tank, 1.6 m in diameter and 2.0 m in height, were studied using CFD. Numerical analysis results show that improved mixing tank was reduced low speed flow region and turbulent region in internal flow of mixing tank.
