Study of mixing behavior of cstr using CFD

The continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a widely used equipment in chemical related industries. The flow behaviour of fluid inside the reactor may either change from dispersion to ideal or ideal to dispersion mixing state. It is studied using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software ANSYS Fluent. The mixing behaviour is predicted in terms of age distribution function, I (θ). For the CSTR without impeller and baffles, I (θ) is found by the tracer injection method. It is measured and predicted by the impeller swept volume method for the CSTR in the presence of impeller ...
