Simulating Surface Aeration Systems at Different Scale of Mixing Time

Abstract

Abstract: Macro and micromixing time represent two extreme mixing time scales,which governs the whole hydrodynamics characteristics of the surface aeration systems.With the help of experimental and numerical analysis,simulation equation governing those times scale has been presented in the present work.

Key words: mass transfer, macromixing, micromixing, surface aerators, theoretical power per unit volume, rotor speed
