K = 16.783
n = 0.35
where,
K – consistency index
n – flow behavior index
𝛾 – shear rate (1/s)
𝜇 – viscosity (Pa-s)

Velocity distribution





Velocity near the impeller is high but it quickly decreases as we
move away from the impeller
The bottom hydrofoil impeller shows radial profile and has formed
it’s own circulation loop
The average velocity in the vessel is 0.49 m/s

Shear and velocity distribution

Contours of strain rate (1/s)

Contours of viscosity (Pa-s)

• The average strain rate in the vessel is 3.58 1/s.
• Consequently, the average viscosity is 7.33 Pa-s

V – vessel volume
c – actual tracer concentration
𝑐 - average tracer concentration in the vessel

• Coefficient of Variance (CoV) is the measure of degree
of mixing in the vessel
• CoV = 0.1 indicates 90% homogeneity
