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
m = Absolute viscosity
m 1/m 2 = Viscosity ratio
of unmixed streams
r 1/r 2 = Density ratio of
unmixed streams
V1/V2=
Volumetric ratio of unmixed streams
n = Shear rate
n = Number
of elements
L/D =
Element length to diameter ratio
Inj. =
Injection method of additive stream
