Effect of Geometry Design on Mixing Performance of Newtonian Fluids using Helical Overlapped Mixer Elements in Kenics Static Mixer

The laminar flow pattern and mixing behavior of incompressible Newtonian fluids in different modified mixer ‎configurations were numerically investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations in the range of ‎Re=0.15-100. The governing equations were solved by ANSYS Fluent 14 using th...
