Pozycja Mieszanie cieczy wysokolepkich. Podstawy procesowe(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2012) Kuncewicz, Czesław; Wodziński, Piotr; Dyląg, Michał; Heim, AndrzejBased on years of industrial experience and laboratory tests, it was found that highly viscous liquids such as molten polymers, pastes, bitumen, varnishes, pulps, dyestuffs, resins, tar etc. are best mixed by close-clearance agitators, i.e. ribbon, horseshoe and screw impellers operating in a diffuser. Slightly less popular solutions in this case appeared to be frame, scrape and screw agitators operating without a diffuser. Among the above listed types of agitators ribbon and screw impellers deserve the most attention. While working, they produce high secondary circulation practically in the whole mixer irrespective of the viscosity of liquid being stirred. High radial and axial circulation causes also that just the last two types of impellers are most popular in practical applications. This monograph presents a discussion of the state of experimental investigations and theoretical studies on close-clearance impellers operating in laminar motion. A separate problem discussed in the book is modeling of mixer hydrodynamics and heat transfer for the impellers. The monograph consists of segments. In the first two chapters the fundamental notions of primary and secondary circulation in the mixer, the function of current, current lines, circulation time, etc. used further in the book are defined. The main properties of liquid as a continuous species are discussed there. The three subsequent chapters present a discussion of helical ribbon, horseshoe and screw impellers. Every impeller type is considered from the point of view of the analysis of hydrodynamics of a mixer-impeller system, mixing time, heat transfer coefficients, mixing power and efficiency. Depending on the impeller type, the center of gravity of the presented analysis is shifted towards this region in which the given impeller type is most frequently applied. The book presents numerous tables containing dimensionless or semi-empirical equations proposed by various authors to calculate many basic values. The tables have been critically evaluated. Opposite to turbulent flow, mixing of highly viscous liquids proceeds always in the laminar or deeply laminar regime which is often called the creeping flow. Very often, highly viscous liquids are not non-Newtonian liquids. Thus, there are problems associated with the necessity of taking into account the whole spectrum of non-Newtonian liquids and with the analysis of mixing efficiency with respect to energy consumption. High liquid viscosity causes that much energy is required to drive the impeller. This is directly proportional to the viscosity of liquid. Hence, for each type of the impeller methods to determine mean shear rates of liquid in the mixer and to calculate apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian liquid have been described. Because there are many types of non-Newtonian liquids, the book is focused only on shear-thinned and viscoelastic liquids. The last chapter of the monograph is dedicated to modeling of the mixer hydrodynamics in laminar motion. This is a reference to modem and still more popular methods associated with the application of CFD techniques which help the designing process. In this chapter attention is focused on discussing various authors' models available in the literature rather than on the discussion of integrated packages accessible on the market. Discussion of the latter ones can easily be found in the scientific and commercial literature. The presented monograph is intended for students of higher years of studies at the departments of chemical engineering, chemistry, mechanical engineering and related ones. The monograph should be particularly helpful for students preparing their diploma theses, providing them with appropriate literature on the subject and for PhD students in the above mentioned departments. Besides being helpful for students, the book can also be useful for designers who cope in their professional work with the problems of mixing highly viscous liquids. At present, there are no universal methods to select properly the type and geometric parameters of an impeller according to the main goal of mixing, viscosity of the liquid being mixed and its rheological properties.Pozycja Gravity drainage kinetics of papermaking fibrous suspensions(Polska Akademia Nauk, 2014) Przybysz, Piotr; Kuncewicz, Czesław; Rieger, FrantišekThe study analyses application possibilities of filtration and thickening models in evaluation of papermaking suspension drainage rate. The authors proposed their own method to estimate the drainage rate on the basis of an existing Ergun capillary model of liquid flow through a granular material. The proposed model was less sensitive to porosity changes than the Ergun model. An empirical verification proved robustness of the proposed approach. Taking into account discrepancies in the published data concerning how the drainage velocity of papermaking suspension is defined, this study examines which of the commonly applied models matches experimental results the best.Pozycja A New Device for Characterisation of the Drainage Kinetics of Fibrous Suspensions Under Gravity(The Journal of Committee of Chemical and Process of Polish Academy of Sciences, 2014) Przybysz, Piotr; Kuncewicz, Czesław; Rieger, FrantišekGravity dewatering of fibrous suspension is one of basic technological operations in paper production process. Although there are numerous methods to determine dewatering of such suspensions, none of them can measure undisturbed flow of removed water. In the paper the idea and design of a new apparatus for the determination of drainage rate of fibrous suspensions is presented. The apparatus differs from other known devices by minimisation of filtrate flow resistance in the outlet part of the equipment. In the second part of the paper measurements of the drainage rate have been presented. The flow resistance of the fluid through the bottom wire screen in the device was determined. The calculated flow resistance will be used in the developed model of dynamic drainage of fibrous suspensions, which will be discussed in our following paper (Przybysz et al., 2014).
