Although viscous solid–liquid mixing plays a key role in the industry, the vast majority of the
literature on the mixing of suspensions is centered around the turbulent regime of operation …

Mechanically stirred slurry tanks are utilized in several industries to perform various unit
operations such as crystallization, adsorption, ion-exchange, suspensions polymerization …

Mixing of solid particles into liquids within contactors mechanically agitated by stirrers is a
topic of primary importance for several industrial applications. A great research effort has …

Industrial tanks devoted to the mixing of solid particles into liquids are often operated at an
impeller speed N less than Njs (defined as the lowest speed allowing the suspension of all …

In the literature on mechanically agitated solid–liquid systems, several methods are
described to estimate the minimum impeller speed Njs at which all particles are suspended …

The combination of an elliptical uncovered unbaffled stirred tank with a rigid-flexible impeller
is a creative effort to improve the performance of solid–liquid suspensions. In this work, we …

The present work is aimed at providing experimental information on mixing rates in an
unbaffled vessel under free surface vortexing conditions. The planar laser induced …

The determination of the minimum agitation speed, N js, to achieve the just-suspended off-
bottom solid suspension state in liquids in stirred vessels is an issue of significant …

Flow behavior of particles is simulated by means of two-fluid model combining with kinetic
theory of granular flow in a liquid-solid stirred vessel with baffles. The Huilin-Gidaspow drag …

Unbaffled stirred tanks are increasingly recognized as a viable alternative to common
baffled tanks for a range of processes where the presence of baffles is undesirable for some …
