-:Agitation

Agitation refers to the induced motion of a material in a specified way, usually in circular
.pattern inside some sort of container
-:Mixing
Mixing is the random distribution, into and through one another , of two or more initially
.separate phases
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Purposes of agitation
.Suspending solid particles .1
.Blending miscible liquids .2
Dispersion of liquid, which is immiscible with other liquids, to form .3
.emulsion or a suspension of fine drops
.Dispersion of gas through a liquid in the form of small bubble .4
.Promoting heat transfer between the liquids and a coil or jacket .5
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Agitated Vessels
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Agitated vessels
.In agitation mostly cylindrical vessel with a vertical axis is used -
The tank bottom is rounded, not flat, to eliminate sharp corners or regions into which fluid -
.currents would not penetrate
.Liquid depth is approximately equal to the diameter of the tank -
.An impeller is mounted on shaft, that is, a shaft is supported from above -
The shaft is driven by a motor, sometimes, directly connected to the shaft but more often -
.connected to it through a speed-reducing gearbox
Accessories such as inlet and outlet lines, coils, jackets, and wells for thermometers or -
.other temperature-measuring devices are usually included
.Baffles are usually included to reduce tangential motion -
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Impellers
-:Axial flow impellers.1
.Generate currents parallel with the axial of the impeller shaft
-:Radial flow impellers.2
. Generate currents in a radial or tangential direction
For low to moderate viscosity liquids propellers, turbines, and high efficiency impellers -
.are used
For very viscous liquids, the most widely used impellers are helical impellers and -
.anchor agitators
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Various type of impellers
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Propellers
It is an axial flow, high speed impeller for liquids of low viscosity. Small propellers speed -
.is 1150 to 1750 rpm; larger one speed is 400 to 800 rpm
The direction of rotation is usually chosen to force the liquid downward, and the flow -
.currents leaving the impeller continue until deflected by the floor of vessel
As shown in figure the standard three-blade marine propellers with square pitch are most -
common; four blade, toothed, and other designs are sometimes employed for special
.purposes
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Turbines
The simple straight blade turbine pushes the liquid radically and tangentially with almost -
.no vertical motion at the impeller
The currents it generates travel outward to the vessel wall and then flow either upward or -
downward. Such impellers are sometimes called paddles
.It can rotate at the speed of 20 to 150 rpm -
A pitched blade turbine is used when good overall circulation is important, because it -
.provides some axial flow in addition to the radial flow
AGITATION AND MIXING
-:Flow pattern
The way a liquid moves in an agitated vessel depends on
Type of impeller -
Characteristics of the liquid, specially its viscosity -
Size and proportions of the tank -
Baffles -
Impeller -
The liquid velocity at any point in the tank has three components
.Radial component acts in a direction perpendicular to the shaft of impeller .1
.Longitudinal component acts in a direction parallel with the shaft .2
Tangential component or rotational acts in a direction tangent to a circular path around .3
.the shaft
 AGITATION AND MIXING
When the shaft is vertical and centrally located in the tank, the tangential component is -
generally disadvantageous. The tangential flow follows a circular path around the shaft and
.create a vortex in the liquid
If solid particles are present, circulatory currents tend to throw the outside by centrifugal -
force; from there they move downward and to the center of the tank at the bottom. Instead
.of mixing, its reverse concentration occurs
If the swirling is strong, the flow pattern in the tank is virtually the same regardless of the -
.design of the impeller, and gas from above the liquid is drawn down into the charge

Types of mixers:

Fluid Mixers

For viscous fluid, the mixer is provided with 2 sets of blades, the outer one rotating at as
low RPM as 15 to 25 & the inner one at comparatively higher RPM & in the reverse
direction which mixers the ingredients uniformly all over.
Other versions of mixers are tilt able mixers, rotating at higher RPM as required for low
viscosity fluids.
Planetary Gear Mixers are also meant for higher viscous fluids.
CEK Fluid Mixing Studies

The Fluid Mixing Apparatus has been developed to demonstrate the factors affecting
mixing using visualization and measurement techniques as appropriate. It is suitable as an
instructional aid or as a design tool for large scale mixers.

Fluid Mixer

In Inline agitation system, the possibility of materials –Liquid or Solid passing through it,
without subjected to intense hydraulic and mechanical shear actions is zero. Here suction
pipe (inlet pipe) is centrally mounted & outlet is radically mounted , therefore it is physically
impossible for any material to pass from inlet to outlet without exposed to agitation.

The stator which surrounds rotor is available with various type of opening i.e. round,
square, rectangular & with perforation also so that all the critical demand of Mixing,
Emulsifying, Disintegration & Dispersion of solids, suspension can be met out by same
equipment.

The machine is versatile & has completely revolutionized the traditional mixing techniques.
Here close tolerance of rotor with the stator produces high hydraulic shearing &
mechanical action that ensures that material entrapped between rotor & stator is subjected
to tremendous shearing actions each minute.
