IMPROVISED AND ENERGY EFFIFCIENT TECHNIQUE FOR THE MIXING OF NON NEWTONIAN FLUIDS USING A NOVEL STATIC MIXER
Abstract
Static Mixers, the motionless mixers which contain certain number of static elements housed in a single tubular structure. By the use of static mixers, the blending of non-Newtonian fluids can be done in an improvised and energy effective manner. The use of static mixers in process industries reduces the power consumption to a greater extent. The fluids taken for the pilot-scale study are pseudo plastic in nature, which find its application mainly in the field of cosmetics industries. The use of static mixers enables us to have the best handling of high viscous liquids and laminar mixing with high efficiency. It uses pressure loss energy for the mixing of fluids. Hence, the pressure drop studies are carried out for different flow rates. The main objective is the study of mixing performance and pressure drop in the designed static mixer. The viscous fluids used here are starch and carbopol 940.
