Blending
Static Mixers
Blending in a static mixer can be directly related to a series of dimensionless numbers that can be used to describe blending characteristics.
Where Re = Reynolds Number
μ = Absolute Viscosity
μ 1/μ 2 = Viscosity Ratio of Unmixed Streams
ρ 1/ρ 2 = Density Ratio of Unmixed Streams
V1/V2= Volumetric Ratio of Unmixed Streams
v = Shear Rate
n = Number of Elements
L/D = Element Length to Diameter Ratio
Inj. = Injection Method of Additive Stream
