Numerical Simulation Study on Flow Field and Power Characteristics in a Paste Agitated Vessel
Flow field and power consumption are two key parameters for a paste agitated vessel.In this work,the flow field and power consumption in the paste agitated vessel is numerically simulated by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD).The velocity fields of single-phase in the vessel,as well as the solid suspension of four different types of particles and power consumption characteristics were obtained.Moreover,the effects of operating condition on the flow fields and power consumption in the paste agitated vessel were investigated.The research can provide helpful and reference basis for the design and optimization of the related mixing equipment.
