Optimisation of mixing performance of helical ribbon mixers for high throughput applications using computational fluid dynamics

摘要

The work presented focuses on the optimisation in a 1 L vessel using an anchor with a helical ribbon design using CFD and a learning algorithm, optimised by minimisation of the torque output of the mixer and the homogeneity of the mixture in the vessel after a defined mixing time. The results were successfully validated experimentally using Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) and direct torque measurements.
