The present study investigates experimentally the laminar
mixing and heat transfer of a range of helical ribbon
and anchor impellers for both Newtonian and inelastic non-Newtonian fluids. The work also correlates the
experimental data empirically in the form of dimensionless
groups.
In order to estimate the relative importance and the
effect of all the geometrical parameters on the mixing
power and heat transfer, data from the published literature
sources will be utilized and combined with the results
from this study. Thus, reliable empirical correlations
will be obtained which are applicable over the widest
range of operating conditions.
The study also investigates the ablity of the various
impellers to level out temerature distributions. The
measurement of these temperature gradients and the impeller
power requirements gives a measure of the mixing efficiency
of the impeller used. / Science Research Council
