Calculating Tank Volume, Viscosity, Turnover, Mixer: Understanding the Importance of Industrial Mixing Applications

When it comes to maintaining flow in liquids that are highly viscous, larger diameter low-speed impellers that allow increased horsepower are necessary. This is because conventional propeller and turbine mixers can be used for viscous liquids, unlike heat transfer applications where specialized equipment is required.

Heat transfer applications involve the installation of a heat source within the vessel, similar to liquid blending processes. The mixing process speeds up conduction and promotes heat transfer through forced convection. Heat is typically transferred through conduction from the vessel wall or internal heating elements to the contents. Agitation helps carry heat through the mass via convection.

Heat transfer between the vessel contents and a heating or cooling surface, such as coils, plates, or the vessel wall itself, is crucial in many industrial processes. The type of crystallization required influences the agitation method, while the handling of crystals determines the choice of impeller system. Some crystals require gentle agitation at low speeds to prevent fracture, while others form on the surface and must be scraped off with an impeller.

Conversely, dissolving involves adding a solvent to a solid or liquid substance, whereas crystallization is achieved by either cooling or heating a solution to remove crystals. Four additional functions of industrial mixers and agitators highlight the importance of function over form in designing these systems.
