Summary: The effects have been examined of geometry and dynamical
and physical properties of the system on mass and energy transfer in
agitated vessels. The results, beside providing a scientific contribution
to the field of transport phenomena in agitated vessels, can be applied in
1) mass transfer in agitated vessels in solid-liquid systems; 2)
operations involving suspension of solid particles in gitated vessels and
sampling of suspensions from agitated vessels (dissolving, catalytic
chemical reactions, precipitation, crystallization); 3) styrene
suspension pearl-polymerizatins; 4) examination of coatings in agitated
vessels; 5) heat transfer operations in processes involving stirring and
in heat transfer equipment. For each of the cases listed, a number of
empirical solutions has been optained, whit dimensionless characteristics
interrelating a whole series of parameters affecting some transfer
operations in agitated vessels. The parameters defined and thier
interrelations are the basic data needed to design equipment to be used for
mass and energy transfer.
Keywords: Mass transfer, energy transfer, agitated vessels, suspended particles, suspension sampling, styrene polymerization, coatings, jacketed vessel, coil vessel, U-bend vessel
Research goals: Industrial processes based on transfer phenomena are
man-controlled, so that research in that area has as its goal a definition
of conditions under which the process will be carried out in the quickest,
simplest and the most economical way. Agitation is not only an auxiliary
operation there, but a main promoter of mass and energy transfer. The
expected results define a whole series of parameters needed in designing
the chemical industry equipement to be used for mass and energy transfer. Other information about the project.
