The study of influence of a rotating magnetic field on mixing efficiency
The study presents the results of an experimental analysis of the mixing process under the influence of a rotating magnetic field (RMF). Dimensionless correlations are proposed to predict the power consumption and mixing time for the analyzed mixing system. The results showed that the mixing behavior of the RMF mixer may be described by means of the dimensionless mixing energy as the product of the power input and the mixing time. The effects of various liquids (aqueous solutions of NaCI brine; distilled water; Herstin-Schramm medium) on these mixing parameters are approximated mathernatically. The obtained experimental results suggest that the application of the RMF enables the efficient mixing of liquids. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
