Computer-Aided Design of Fluid Mixing Equipment: A Guide and Tool for Practicing Engineers helps practicing design and operations engineers in solving their agitation and mixing problems. The book provides the practicing engineer with the tools necessary to evaluate the performance of existing agitation and mixing equipment, along with tactics on how to design new equipment using computerized rating and design methods. The most appropriate design techniques are also included in computer programs for solving mixing problems for the practicing engineer. Excel solutions are available through the WEB for 40 example problems in the book. WEB based, general purpose CalcEdge design programs are also available; the TK6 source codes are also available. Provides the practicing engineer with the tools necessary to evaluate the performance of existing equipment and to design new equipment using computerized rating and design methods Explains the principles required to understand and use recommended design methods Implements design methods that are readily available and easy-to-use Presents sufficient worked examples–using provided canned programs–to guide the user in analyzing and designing mixing equipment

Fluid Mixing II documents the proceedings of a symposium organized by the Yorkshire Branch and the Fluid Mixing Processes Subject Group of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and held at Bradford University, on 3-5 April 1984. The conference covers all aspects of mixing including the assessment of mixture quality, experimental and theoretical studies of mixing, chemical reaction and mass transfer, heat transfer, novel experimental techniques, scale-up and optimization. This volume contains 12 papers that deal with topics such as drawdown of floating solids into mechanically agitated vessels; effects of water/cement ratio, intensity of mixing, age and cement particle size and shape upon rheological properties of cement grouts with and without admixture; and mixing of non-absorbent solids with liquids. Other studies cover the flooding transition of a Rushton turbine operating in a gas-liquid system; power consumption in a three phase (liquid-solid-gas) mixing process in a stirred vessel; and an experimental technique for studying the rate of inter-zone mixing.

A Guide to Fluid Mixing was written for those who desire a quick, concise approach to the principles of fluid mixing. Written primarily as an introductory text or primer for chemical engineering students, it is also useful to those in the Chemical Processing Industries (CPI) who have found the need to acquaint themselves with this topic. Unfortunately, due to heavy academic loads and time constraints imposed by the typical undergraduate curriculum, many chemical engineers have not had the opportunity to explore the many facets of this exciting field. Fluid mixing is indeed a topic which deserves more attention than it has received if, for no other reason, one considers its tremendous impact on almost every production process and every industrial and consumer product. In addition, this book also contains a laboratory manual which covers a broad selection of fluid mixing experiments.
