Multi-tubular stirred reactor is an efficient pressure reactor. It is designed and developed to strengthen the mixing and mass transfer process. In order to research the flow characteristics in this reactor, the residence time distribution is measured at different rotation speeds from 50rpm to 350rpm and different flow rates from 1.8m3/h to 3.9m3/h. The relationship among mean residence time, flow flux and rotate speed is obtained.

This paper focuses on understanding the electrolyte flow characteristics in a typical packed-bed electrochemical reactor using Residence Time Distribution (RTD) studies. RTD behavior was critically analyzed using tracer studies at various flow rates, initially under nonelectrolyzing conditions. Validation of these results using available theoretical models was carried out. Significant disparity in RTD curves under electrolyzing conditions was examined and details are recorded. Finally, a suitable mathematical model (Modified Dispersed Plug Flow Model (MDPFM)) was developed for validating these results under electrolyzing conditions.

The quantified residence time distribution (RTD) provides a numerical characterization of mixing in the continue casting tundish, thus allowing the engineer to better understand the metallurgical performance of the reactor. This paper describes a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling study for analyzing the flow pattern and the residence time distribution in a five-strand tundish. Two passive scalar transport equations are applied to separately calculate the E-curve and F-curve in the tundish. The numerical modelling results are compared to the water modelling results for the validation of the mathematical model. The volume fraction of different flow regions (plug, mixed and dead) and the intermixing time during the ladle changeover are calculated to study the effects of the flow control device (FCD) on the tundish performance. The result shows that a combination of the U-baffle with deflector holes and the turbulence inhibitor has three major effects on the flow characteristics in the tundish: i) reduce the extent of the dead volume; ii) evenly distribute the liquid streams to each strand and iii) shorten the intermixing time during the ladle changeover operation.

Quantified residence-time distribution (RTD) provides a numerical characterization of mixing in the continuous casting tundish-thus allowing the engineer to better understand the metallurgical performance of the reactor. This study describes a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling study for analyzing the flow pattern and the residence-time distribution in a five-strand tundish. Two passive scalar-transport equations were applied to separately calculate the E-curve and F-curve in the tundish. The numeric modeling result were compared to water-modeling results to validate the mathematical model. The volume fraction of different flow regions (plug, mixed and dead) and the intermixing time during the ladle changeover were calculated to study the effects of the flow control device (FCD) on the tundish performance. From the results of CFD calculations, it can be stated that a combination of the U-baffle with deflector holes and the turbulence inhibitor had three major effects on the flow characteristics in the tundish: (i) to reduce the extent of the dead volume; (ii) to evenly distribute the liquid streams to each strand and (iii) to shorten the intermixing time during the ladle changeover operation.
