I. Adamiak et Z. Jaworski, An experimental investigation of the non-Newtonian liquid flow in a Kenicsstatic mixer, INZ CHEM PR, 22(3B), 2001, pp. 175-180
LDA measurements of the local, axial and tangential components of the fluid
velocity have been carried out in a Kenics static mixer. Two aqueous, non-
Newtonian solutions have been used in the laminar flow regime: 0.3% w/w CMC
for Re=10, 40 and 160, and 0.1% CMC for Re=640. The velocity profiles in s
everal cross-sections of a mixing insert have been determined and analysed.
An extensive database for validation of CFD modelling has been obtained.
