Static mixer consists of a straight pipe of circular cross section into which individual elements are inserted to cut, fold, twist and re-combine the mixing fluid. The number of elements and their shape required in any application depend on the complexity of the mixing process. The objectives of this study are to develop a new static mixer and to perform the experimental investigation of pressure drop in order to evaluate the performance of the new one. The mixing fluid used is Glycerin. The pressure drop is measured using a hydraulic manometer and the correlation of Z-factor is suggested as a function of Re. The Z-factors of SSC and YNU mixer are about 40% lower than and 4% higher than that of the Sulzer one.

This paper presents numerical results of fluid flows and mixing in a microfluidic device for AC electroosmotic flow (AC-EOF) with coplanar electrodes on top and bottom walls. Differently from previous EOF a channel which attached a couple of coplanar electrodes can be utilized to mix a target liquid with a reagent. In this study we propose a method of controlling fluid flows and mixing enhancement. To obtain the flow and mixing characteristics, numerical computations are performed by using a commercial code, CFX10. It was found that the flow near the coplanar electrodes is of 3-D complex flows and vortices between the other electrodes, and as a consequence the AC-electroosmotic flow on the electrodes plays an important role in mixing the liquid.

Fluid flows within microchannels are characterized by low Reynolds numbers. Therefore the effect of mixing is a crucial factor in design of the channels. Since the action of the electro-osmotic or magnetic forces used in the mixing enhancement is usually periodic in the three-dimensional channel configuration, use of the various concepts of chaotic advection is reasonable in the quantification of the stirring effect. In this paper, the details of the method of material-stretching mapping is explained. The actual application of the method to the screw extruder is also presented.

Mixing is a very important unit in water treatment process. A mechanical stirring method is generally used for mixing, but recently, the use of pressurized water mixing method (pump diffusion flash mixer) has gained interest because it is more advantageous in terms of mixing time, noise, energy consumption, and maintenance. The following conclusions were obtained from the study of pressurized water mixing method by Computational Fluid Dynamics. Firstly, the mixing degree in the pipe increased as the density of water increased. Secondly, even if the relative velocity between flow rate in the pipe and the pressurized water was constant, the mixing degree decreased as the flow velocity in the pipe increased. Thirdly, the stronger the injection energy the higher the mixing degree. It was also found that the mixing degree was greatly affected by the injection velocity as compared to the injection flow amount. Finally, the required energy to achieve 95% mixing degree at the distance of 10 times diameter in big pipes of 500 mm to 3000 mm was 0.3 to 4.5 kJ. The result of this study could be used in the process design of injection with water purification chemicals, such as, ozone, chlorine, and coagulant.

Freon CHF experiments are carried out to investigate the CHF enhancements by mixing vane shapes of spacer grids in nuclear fuel assembly. The experiments were performed for a wide range mass flux, 50$\sim}$3000 kg/$m^2s$. Three kinds of spacer grids in 5${\times}$5 rod bundles are tested: no mixing vane grids, hybrid mixing vane grids, and split mixing vane grids. The CHF performances are compared along with the data belong to the PWR operating conditions based on a water equivalence through a fluid-to-fluid modeling method. The average of the data in this range is 16.4% for 37 data of hybrid vane grid and 12.5% for 24 data of split vane. In the lower mass flux, however, the split vane grid shows slightly higher performance than the hybrid vane grid.

An experimental study has been carried out to obtain optimal conditions for turbulent mixing of two fluid streams at various angle branches by a flow visualization method. The main purpose of this study is the utilization of flow visualization method as a fast and efficient way to find the optimal mixing conditions when several flow control parameters are superimposed. It is verified that the optimal conditions estimated by flow visualization method have good agreement with the concentration field measurements. The results demonstrate that the diameter ratio is mainly attributed to the mixing phenomena than the branch pipe angle and the Reynolds number. The most striking fact is that there exists the best diameter ratio, d/D.ident. O.17, which requires the minimum momentum ratio in the range of the present experiment. The velocity ratio for the optimal mixing condition has a value within 2 to 16 according to the different flow parameters.

A simplified one-dimensional analysis has been performed to predict the local pressure distributions in Y-Jet twin-fluid atomizers. Fluid compressibility was considered both in the gas(air) and two-phase(mixing) ports. The annular-mist flow model was adopted to analyze the flow in the mixing port. A series of experiments also has been performed; the results show that the air flow rate increases and the liquid flow rate decreases with the increase of the air injection pressure and/or with the decrease of the liquid injection pressure. From the measured injection pressures and flow rates, the appropriate constants for the correlations of the pressure loss coefficients and the rate of drop entrainment were decided. The local pressures inside the nozzle by prediction reasonably agree with those by the experiments.

A new device to accurately deliver small amount of modifier into supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is described. Carbon dioxide, the most widely used mobile phase in supercritical fluid chromatography, is a relatively non-polar fluid, and hence the addition of small amount of polar modifiers could be necessary to migrate polar solutes. In this work, supercritical CO₂and modifier are delivered from the pump to a 100 μL mixing chamber in which a small magnetic bar is rotating. After passing through the mixing chamber, supercritical CO₂is changed to a new mobile phase with different polarity. The amount of modifier added into supercritical CO₂is measured by an amperometric microsensor, which is prepared from a thin film of perfluorosulfonate ionomer.

탈질과 탈황을 동시에 수행하는 과산화수소($H_2O_2$) 수용액 세정탑의 반응효율을 증가시키기 위해 예혼합이 이루어지는 혼합 냉각기(mixing quencher) 영역 내부의 유체유동에 대한 수치해석이 수행되었다. 산업공정에서 상용화되고 있는 세정탑 전단부의 혼합냉각기에서 과산화수소 수용액이 주입되는 노즐의 분사방식은 배기가스와 과산화수소 수용액의 혼합에 중요한 역할을 하며, 혼합냉각기에서의 혼합도는 세정탑 의 효율을 결정하는 중요 요소가 된다. 본 연구에서는 혼합냉각기 내부유체의 농도분포 개선을 목적으로 하여 혼합냉각기 내의 노즐 관의 배열을 조절하거나 노즐 팁 각도를 변경하며 유체혼합을 최적화하였다. 전산해석은 이 냉각기영역의 내부유동 및 각 유체 농도에 대한 RMS (root mean square) 값을 계산하여 내부유체의 혼합도의 개선을 확인하였다. 세부적으로는 노즐 관의 위치를 조절할 때 변경되는 냉각기 영역 후단의 농도 RMS 값을 확인하여 난류형성위치에 따른 최적화된 혼합도를 확인하였으며 기본형상 대비 난류형성방향을 조절하는 목적의 노즐 팁 각도를 증감하여 농도분포의 균질화를 비교하였다. 노즐 관의 배열에 따라 난류형성위치와 그에 따른 유체혼합이 해석되었다. 또한 노즐 팁 각도를 조절하는 경우에는 유동방향과의 각도에 따라, 흐름이 병류와 향류에 따라 혼합도의 최적화를 확인할 수 있었다. 노즐 관의 위치는 0.3 m, 노즐 팁은 병류의 $15^{\circ}$일 때 최적의 조건을 가지며 가장 낮은 RMS 값인 12.4%를 가졌다.

The numerical simulation of the particle dispersion in the vortical flows provides insight into the mechanism of particle-fluid interaction. The simulation results show that the mixing layers are characterized by the large-scale vortical structures undergoing pairing process. The particle dispersion is strongly influenced by the large-scale structures and the particle sizes. The analysis shows that the mixing layers grows like a step-function.
