The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of process parameters such as interfacial tension, type of surfactants, and their concentration on simple oil-in-water dispersion. Explored systems were prepared with 5% liquid paraffin oil and aqueous phase with emulsifiers Tween 40 of concentrations from 0.008325 mM to 0.025 mM and Tween 80 with concentrations ranging from 0.00375 mM to 0.011 mM. All systems were characterized in terms of their density and interfacial tension. In the next step analysis of droplet size distributions and mean droplet diameter was performed. The results showed that the size of paraffin droplets decreased as the concentration of surfactants grew. This trend is accompanied by decrease in the interfacial tension between phases. The correlation between mean drop size and the energy input and physical properties of both liquids was developed. The last step provides scientific evidence for the formulation of stable droplets of liquid paraffin.

Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent flowand heat transfer in a Kenics static mixer

CFD modelling of momentum and heat transfer using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach hasbeen presented for a Kenics static mixer. The simulations were performed with the commercial codeANSYS Fluent 15 for turbulent flow of three values of Reynoldsnumber,Re=5 000, 10 000 and18 000. The numerical modelling began in the RANS model, where standardk−εturbulence modeland wall functions were used. Then the LES iterations started from the initial velocity and temperaturefields obtained in RANS. In LES, the Smagorinsky–Lilly modelwas used for the sub-grid scalefluctuations along with wall functions for prediction of flowand heat transfer in the near-wall region.The performed numerical study in a Kenics static mixer resulted in highly fluctuating fields of bothvelocity and temperature. Simulation results were presented and analysed in the form of velocity andtemperature contours. In addition, the surface-averaged heat transfer coefficient values for the wholeinsert length were computed and compared with the literature experimental data. Good compliance ofthe LES simulation results with the experimental correlation was obtained.
