DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS RELATIVE TO MULTI-COMPONENT MIXING AND SEPARATION PROCESSES
SINOPSIS
A common approach to mass transfer processes in multi-component and multiphase media, that stems from a simplified viewpoint of mechanics, is suggested. The method under consideration enables us to solve the following problems. The first problem is the calculation of the bulk mass in a downstream contour of reactive mixing shear flow. The Second problem is the calculation of the mass of separated fractions of multi-component flow. The remaining problems are both the determination of a local degree of mixing and its relation to reaction progress variable in reactor volume. This is on condition that the simple chemical reaction takes place as well as the determination of an invariant to characterize the mass concentration fluctuations in turbulent multi-component media. The method was approved by the calculation of the mass of re-circulated gases and entrained excess air together with the mass of gasified fuel in the confined pulverized oil shale flame in an inverted combustion chamber.
