2. 1. On the modelling of turbulent flow and mixing in stirred reactors

   Author : Johan Revstedt; Strömningsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulence; CFD; stirred reactors; impeller modelling; Energy research; mixing; LES; Energiforskning;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the numerical simulations and modelling of the flow structure and scalar transport in stirred reactors. For this Large Eddy Simulations (LES) have been used. The flow situation in a stirred reactor includes several flow phenomena that are not well predicted by "standard" two-equation models, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Mixing patterns in Rushton-turbine-agitated reactors

   Author : Fabrice Guillard; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; coherent mixing structure; geometrical analysis; dynamic structural analysis; conditional sampling; laser-induced fluorescence; mixing; stirred tank; Livsmedelsteknik;

   Abstract : This Ph.D. Thesis concerns the study of mixing in Rushton turbine agitated reactors. In industrial (bio)reactors, mixing is recognised as a limiting factor that significantly affects the performance of the process. READ MORE

5. 3. On Modeling the Dynamics of Fixed Biofilm Reactors. With focus on nitrifying trickling filters

   Author : Torsten Wik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; operation; transfer functions; biofilm reactors; adsorption; dormancy; modeling; dynamics; nitrification;

   Abstract : Fixed biofilms, which are matrix-enclosed populations of organisms attached to solid surfaces, are increasingly used in environmental biotechnology processes, such as the treatment of potable water and wastewater. This thesis aims to give some insight into the dynamic modeling of biofilms and fixed biofilm reactors, with a focus on nitrifying trickling filters (NTFs) for the treatment of wastewater. READ MORE

6. 4. A Computational Investigation of Transport Phenomena in Stirred Reactors and Catalyst Particles

   Author : Martin Lundén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Transport phenomena in stirred vessels and catalyst particles have been studied with computational models. The turbulent flow in a cylindrical, baffled vessel stirred with a coaxially mounted Rushton turbine was represented with a numerical solution of the transport equations. The influence of turbulence was accounted for by the .kappa. READ MORE

7. 5. Fluid Dynamics in Gas-Liquid Stirred Tank Reactors: Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Bubble Coalescence

   Author : Rahman Sudiyo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Turbulence; Buoyancy; Bubble Coalescence; Multiphase Flow; High-Speed Video Imaging; Particle Image Velocimetry; Collision Mechanisms;

   Abstract : This work deals with studies of bubble coalescence in turbulent flows of gas-liquid stirred tank reactors. Coalescence plays an important role in determining bubble size distribution, on which flow and mass transfer in such reactors largely depend. READ MORE
