基于制备超细复合含能材料的对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合性能

由于对置受限式撞击流反应器较高的传热及混合效率，能够制备出粒径小、均匀且分布范围窄的超细颗粒。本文采用碘化物-碘酸盐平行竞争反应体系研究入射速度、结构尺寸对对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合效果的影响规律，并将混合腔尺寸同等比例放大一倍进行对比研究。结果表明，随着入射速度的增大，离集指数减小，微观混合效果提高。喷嘴间距与喷嘴直径比的增大使得离集指数增大，微观混合效果降低。离集指数随着混合腔高度、混合腔出口尺寸的增大呈现先增大后减小的趋势，且混合腔高度对混合效果的影响较混合腔出口尺寸显著。将对置受限式撞击流反应器混合腔尺寸扩大一倍，离集指数增加到原来的2.4倍，微观混合效果显著下降，但是在较大入射速度下，两种结构的混合效果差距减小。研究结果可为纳米复合含能材料的制备提供高效、安全的技术支持。

Application of direct fluid flow oscillations to improve mixing in microbioreactors

This article describes an active mixing method for a microbioreactor that was designed, simulated, tested, and successfully implemented. By applying a varying pressure to a microchannel looping tangentially into a cylindrical microreactor an oscillating fluid flow was shown to occur. Such an oscillating fluid flow improved mixing, both by diffusion and convection. The oscillating fluid flow has a large impact on the ratio between the diffusion domain and the convection domain. A good match was obtained between experimental mixing results, computational fluid dynamics simulation results and the results of a simplified mixing model thus demonstrating the potential of simulation on improving the design of microreactors. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009     

Non-isothermal micromixing in turbulent liquids: Theory and experiment

Partial segregation of reagents occurs when reaction rates exceed mixing rates and frequently causes product distributions to be mixing-dependent. A simultaneous temperature segregation, whereby the temperature in a reaction zone differs from that in its surroundings, has rarely been considered when mixing reagents in the liquid phase. The Prandtl number is usually sufficiently small that engulfment, not thermal conduction, determines the local temperature. The engulfment model of micromixing can then be extended by a heat balance to specify this temperature. To evaluate this model, a new pair of fast competitive reactions (neutralisation and acetal hydrolysis) has been characterised thermochemically and kinetically. A Mettler RC1 calorimeter was operated under isothermal and adiabatic conditions with various stirrer speeds and HCl was slowly added to a mixture of NaOH and 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Measured hydrolysis yields compared quite well with the extended engulfment model, although temperature segregation was of minor importance. It was also unimportant in other reaction systems (simultaneous neutralisation and ester hydrolysis; diazo coupling) employed earlier to study micromixing. Suggestions for further work are made.

Enhancing liquid micromixing using low‐frequency rotating nanoparticles

Magnetic nanofluid actuation by rotating magnetic fields was proposed as a high‐performance tool for liquid mixing with enhanced micromixing features. A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the mixing index in T‐type mixers of magnetic and nonmagnetic fluids subject to static (SMF), oscillating (OMF), and rotating (RMF) magnetic fields. RMF excitation unveiled superior mixing indices with strong dependences to magnetic field frequency and content of magnetic nanoparticles. The impact of magnetic field types on micromixing was further examined at low and moderate Re numbers using the Villermaux–Dushman reaction and IEM micromixing model. The IEM‐inferred micromixing times were remarkably shorter by nearly four orders of magnitude in comparison with OMF and SMF excitations, and without magnetic field. The proposed mixing strategy is foreseen to complement innovative microfluidic devices with valuable mixing tools and methods for the diagnosis of the coupling between transport and intrinsic kinetics. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 337–346, 2017     

Investigation of the collapse of bubbles after the impact of a piston on a liquid free surface

A novel technique based on the impact of a piston on a liquid confined in a vessel is described. Pressure measurements reveal that strong pressure variations (up to 100 atmospheres) with a rich content of frequencies are efficiently transmitted to the liquid. High‐speed camera visualizations show that pre‐existing millimetric bubbles always collapse during the first instants of the impact whereas the behavior of submillimetric bubbles depends on the features of the pressure evolution in the system. In addition to the impact velocity, the amount of gas/vapor trapped between the piston and the liquid's surface plays an important role on how pressure evolves. Only when negative pressure occurs tiny bubbles grow significantly and collapse. The violent collapse of bubbles promote turbulence and mixing at very small length‐scales which renders this technique interesting to intensify processes limited by heat and mass diffusion. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 2483–2495, 2017     

微气泡执行器强化微混合的实验研究

微尺度流动的雷诺数(Re)比较低,其混合主要通过扩散来完成,因此需要较长的距离与时间才能混合均匀。为实现微尺度低Re数流体的快速均匀混合,以甲醇及染色甲醇为工质,采用脉冲电压激励微铂膜产生可控气泡,并以气泡周期性胀缩产生的脉冲压力为动力源,研究脉冲压力横向扰动产生的混沌流对微通道内流动混合的影响。结果表明:脉冲压力横向作用使流体的交界面产生了强烈的卷曲拉伸,有效地强化了混合,该微混合器能够在毫米级混合长度及毫秒级混合时间内快速均匀混合,脉冲频率越高,混合效果越好。本研究结果为解决微尺度下低Re数流动混合难题提供了一种有效的崭新手段。
