Abstract

Karıştırmalı tanklarda en önemli tasarım parametrelerinden bir tanesi güç tüketimidir. Tasarım, sürecin amacı ve güç tüketiminin birlikte değerlendirilmesi sonucu, en iyi sonucun en düşük güç tüketiminde elde edildiği sistem düzenlemesine göre yapılır. Karıştırmalı tanklarda genel olarak tam engel kullanılmaktadır. Ancak bazı durumlarda daha kısa ve yüzeye yakın veya tankın tabanından belli bir mesafe uzaktan başlayan engellerin kullanılması sürecin amaçları açısından daha uygun olmaktadır. Bazı durumlarda ise hiç engel kullanılmaz. Güç tüketiminin hesaplanması için karıştırıcıya özel güç sayısının bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Literatürde tam engel kullanıldığı zaman karıştırıcıların güç sayıları yaygın olarak verilmiştir. Ancak, farklı tür engeller kullanıldığındaki güç sayıları bilinmemekte ve bu sebeple bu sistemlerin güç tüketimleri tasarım aşamasında hesaplanamamaktadır. Bu çalışmada karıştırmalı bir tankta engel uzunluğunun karıştırıcı güç sayısına etkisi araştırılmıştır. Tam engel, tabandan boşluklu engel, yüzey engeli, yarım engel ve engelsiz tank düzenlerinde eğimli bıçaklı karıştırıcının tork değerleri geniş bir Reynolds sayısı aralığında ölçülmüş ve güç sayıları hesaplanmıştır. En küçük güç sayılarına engelsiz düzende ve sonrasında yüzey engeli ile ulaşılmıştır.

The Effect of Length of The Baffle on The Power Number

Abstract

One of the most important design parameters for stirred tanks is the power consumption. Design is based on a simultaneous evaluation of process mixing objective and power consumption. The configuration that gives the best process results at minimum power consumption gives the final design. In stirred tanks, often fully baffled tanks are used. In some processes, however, it was shown that shorter, closer to surface, or off-bottom baffles are more suitable in terms of process objectives. Unbaffled tanks are also sometimes used. Impeller specific power number needs to be known in order to calculate power consumption. The power number of various impellers are given in literature for baffled tanks. For different types of baffles, however, no power number information is available in the literature. This means that the power consumption cannot be calculated while designing these tanks. In this study, the effect of length of the baffle on the power number was investigated. Full baffles, off-bottom baffles, half baffles, surface baffles and no baffles configurations were used. The torque values of a pitched blade turbine impeller were measured over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, and power numbers were calculated. The minimum power number was observed for the unbaffled tank. This was followed by surface baffles.
