Mixer
Application ID: 26611
The purpose of the Mixer application is to provide a user-friendly interface where scientists, process designers, and process engineers can investigate the influence that vessels, impellers, baffles, and operating conditions have on the mixing efficiency and the power that is required to drive the impellers. You can use the app to understand and optimize the design and operation of a mixer for a given fluid.
You can specify the dimensions of the vessel, from a list of three types; and the dimensions and configuration of the impellers, from a list of eleven types. The vessels can also be equipped with baffles. You can further specify the properties of the fluid that is being mixed as well as the impeller speed.
This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
