High shear mixers: A review of typical applications and studies on power draw, flow pattern, energy dissipation and transfer properties

Controllable synthesis of nano-sized LiFePO 4 /C via a high shear mixer facilitated hydrothermal method for high rate Li-ion batteries

“…High shear mixer (HSM), which has been widely utilized in fine dispersions and uniform reactive mixing process due to their highly mass and heat transfer speeds than conventional mechanically impellers [32][33][34][35][36]. Recently, HSM has been adopted to control the crystal polymorph of apixaban (an anticoagulant for the prevention of venous thromboembolism) [37] and BMS-A (a potential drug of the prostate cancer) [38], besides the production of fine chemicals including chlorobenzene [39], toluene diisocyanates [40], aniline and toluenediamine [41].…”

Comparative performance of in-line rotor-stators for deagglomeration processes

“…They are therefore used in a range of power intensive applications for break up (of agglomerates or droplets), fast chemical reactions or foam generation. Zhang et al (2012) provide a review of applications along with flow and power characteristics of different batch and in-line rotor stators relating to rotor-stators.…”

Rigorous analytical solution of the basic concentration model for an injected fluid in a pipe

“…Although axial transport is reported in previous studies (Trivedi & Vasudeva, 1975), the theoretical analysis presented describes this phenomenon in a simplified manner as compared to the solution presented by Zhang et al 2012. The proposed model can be complemented for two liquids with different physical properties, to represent a more realistic additive injection problem, as presented in the oil industry or similar, but considering different physical properties, which is a matter of consideration for authors in further work.…”

“…Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods have been implemented to study both, velocity and concentration profiles, it is interesting to provide analytical solutions (Zhang, Xu, & Li, 2012;Xue-Yi, Zhang, & Zheng, 2014) to describe phenomena such as flow in rotor-stator mixers (Barailler, Heniche & Tanguy, 2006. ), in helical coils (Trivedi & Vasudeva, 1975;Daskopoulos & Lenhoff, 1988), mixed convection in horizontal tubes (Chae & Chung, 2014) and free convection from horizontal cylinders (Chandra & Chhabra, 2012), all these under a laminar regime.…”
