In this study, shape optimization of micro-static mixer with a cantilever beam was accomplished for mixing the mixing efficiency by using successive response surface approximations. Variables were chosen as the length of cantilever beam and the angle between horizontal and the cantilever beam. Sequential approximate optimization method was used to deal with both highly nonlinear and non-smooth characteristics of flow field in a micro-static mixer. Shape optimization problem of a micro-static mixer can be divided into a series of simple subproblems. Approximation to solve the subproblems was performed by response surface approximation, which does not require the sensitivity analysis. To verify the reliability of approximated objective function and the accuracy of it, ANOVA analysis and variables selection method were implemented, respectively. It was verified that successive response surface approximation worked very well and the mixing efficiency was improved very much comparing with the initial shape of a micro-static mixer.

In this work a numerical study to find the characteristics of the internal flow and mixing process has been conducted in a static mixer used in the system of catalytic combustor of the fuel cell power plant. After introducing the model description and final governing equations the present numerical approach is applied to the analysis of static mixer, which may have one or more helical elements inside the circular tube by changing such various parameters as incoming mass flow rates and the number of helical elements. The results show that although the static mixer is efficient in mixing fuel and air, more optimization processes are required to achieve the appropriate mixing characteristics in front of the honeycomb type catalytic combustor used in the MCFC power plant

One of the most widely used static mixers is Sulzer type mixer. However the structure of the element is so complicated that the mixing efficiency is better than others, whereas the pressure drop is larger than the others. Therefore new elements are necessary to reduce the pressure drop and to minimize the decrease of the mixing efficiency compared with the Sulzer ones. The objectives of this study are to develop new static mixer and to perform the experimental investigation in order to evaluate the performance of the new one, and to investigate the applicability of the one in an inline coagulant mixing system for water treatment, The pressure drops of the new static mixer elements were about 4-12% lower than that of the Sulzer SMX one, and the mixing efficiency of the Sulzer SMX one was about 2-5% higher than that of the new ones. The inline coagulant mixing system with a new static mixer element performed significantly better than the traditional mechanical mixing system for turbidity removal.

Fluid mixing is ubiquitous and essential in many natural and industrial systems. Understanding the mixing processes that occur in these diverse systems is essential for predicting many aspects of practical importance. The objective of this study was to develop a new mixing element and to perform the experimental investigation of flow and mixing in a static mixer that is equipped the new element and the others. Glycerin and gear oil were used as mixing fluids. Pressure drops across the static mixer elements of different designs and different numbers were measured using a hydraulic manometer The axial and cross-sectional views of tracer mixing were photographed using a digital camera. The pressure drops of SSM mixer were about 20% less than that of Sulzer mixer whereas the mixing performance of SSM mixer was not so good as that of Sulzer mixer

본 연구에서는 바이오가스의 공급이 부족한 환경에서 5MW급 바이오 가스터빈을 운전하기 위한 바이오가스와 도시가스의 혼합용 혼합챔버의 성능에 대한 수치해석 및 실증 시험을 수행한 것이다. 혼합챔버의 성능에 대한 수치해석으로 혼합챔버 출구부분에서의 불균일도와 압력강하를 계산하였다. 그 결과, 불균일도는 최소 0.05%에서 최대 0.16%로 이는 99%이상 바이오가스와 도시가스가 혼합되는 것을 의미한다. 압력강하는 입구압력 5bar대비 최소 0.07%에서 0.17%로 0.2%미만으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 현장에서 실증 시험을 수행한 결과 외기온도 $15^{\circ}C$조건에서 바이오가스를 $20.0Nm^3/min$, 도시가스를 $12.0Nm^3/min$ 공급할 경우 5MW급 바이오 가스터빈의 정상적인 운전이 가능함을 확인하였다.

In this work the mixing and flow characteristics of a vane-type static mixer were investigated numerically for the reduction of NOx in the SCR-system of the diesel engines. The mixer was located in the 57 times pipe diameter away from the inlet. The analysis were performed by changing such various parameters as vane shape, angles, blockage ratio and location of the vane. The flow structure through the mixer was characterized by uniformity index and pressure drop. The results show that uniformity index and pressure coefficient are substantially influenced by the vane shape, angle, blockage ratio and position of the vane of the mixer.

Flow mixing and pressure drop characteristics for marine selective catalytic reduction applications were investigated numerically to develop an efficient static mixer. Two different mixers, line- and swirl-type, were considered. The effect of vane angles on the relative intensity, uniformity index, and pressure drop was investigated in a swirl-type mixer; these parameters are dramatically affected by the mixer geometry. The presence of a mixer, regardless of the mixer type, led to an improvement of approximately 20% in the mixing performance behind the mixer in comparison to not having a mixer. In particular, there was a tradeoff relationship between the uniformity and the pressure drop. Considering the mixing performance and the pressure drop, the swirl-type mixer was more suitable than the line-type mixer in this study.

본 연구에서는 라인믹서 내의 압력손실과 혼화성능에 대한 혼합요소의 영향을 해석하였다. 기체와 액체가 혼합된 고농도 오존수 장치는 단체급식시설의 살균 및 소독, 양식장의 수질관리 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기존에 사용되는 장치는 가압방식을 사용하여 부피가 매우 크다. 최근에는 기후 변화로 강수량이 감소하여 지하수 및 지표수의 오염으로 음용수의 살균은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 기존의 장치와 대비하여 작은 공간을 사용하면서도 정수기능을 갖는 라인믹서형 기체-액체 혼합장치의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 라인믹서 장치 내에 삽입한 혼합요소인 static mixer의 개수, 오리피스의 형태와 개수, 오리피스에 부착된 베인의 모양에 따른 유입유체의 혼화상태와 유동특성을 전산유체역학 모사를 통해 해석하고 혼화상태에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 곡면의 베인을 부착한 오리피스를 라인믹서에 사용한 경우 static mixer를 사용한 경우와 비교하여 비슷한 혼화정도를 나타내면서 압력손실양은 50% 이상 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

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.
