چکیده انگلیسی
A study was performed that utilizes the quadrature method of moments (QMOM) to model the transient spatial evolution of the floc size in a heterogeneous turbulent stirred reactor. The QMOM approach was combined with a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code (PHOENICS), which was used to simulate the turbulent flow and transport of these aggregates in the reactor. The CFD/QMOM model was applied to a 28 l square reactor containing an axial flow impeller and 100 mg/l concentration of 1 μm nominal clay particles. Simulations were performed for different average characteristic velocity gradients (40,70,90, and 150 s-1). The average floc size and growth rate were compared with experimental measurements performed in the bulk region and the impeller discharge region. The CFD/QMOM results confirmed the experimentally measured spatial heterogeneity in the floc size and growth rate. In addition, the model predicts spatial variations in the aggregation and breakup rates. Finally, the model also predicts that the transport of flocs into the high shear impeller discharge zone was responsible for the transient evolution of the average floc size curve displaying a maximum before decreasing to a steady-state floc size.
