Development of the horizontal swirl mixer with a fillet shape

Concentration dispersion rapidly progresses in the vicinity of the side opposite edge of the mixing tank. It is confirmed that dispersion in the vicinity of the outlet part is small and uniformly mixed in the mixing tank regardless of the angle. It is regard as the consequence of the shear effect caused by the swirl flow generated near the outlet portion and the cross-sectional mixing due to the secondary flow generated at the opposite edge. It was found that it has mixing performance of about N = 9-14, comparing to the complete mixing tank train model.
