Abstract :
Micromixing of Non-newtonian fluid in a stirred-tank reactor with Rushton turbine is investigated numerically by using E model. It is characterized by the product selectivity of parallel competitive reactions. Model is implemented and is validated using experimental data in the literature. The simulations show that a higher agitation speed, and a feeding location closer to the discharge area of the impeller favor micromixing and the reaction rate. These results provide useful guidelines for the scale-up of industrial reactors of non-Newtonian fluid with parallel chemical reactions, and the comparison between the experimental and numerical results confirms the accuracy of the simulations.
