Relevance of laminar mixing flows

• Polymer processing

– improve material properties

– mixing of existing polymers is cheaper than

developing new polymers

• Process industry

– heat transport

– enhancement of reaction speeds

• Food industry

– structure development

Mixing and mapping: Project goals

• Basics of distributive mixing • Basics of the mapping method

• Optimization of mixing protocol: Cavity mixing flow•Optimization of mixing protocol: Journal bearing flow• Optimization of mixing geometry: Kenics mixer

• Choice of mixing goal• Choice of mixing measure

• Intensity of segregation• Scale of segregation• …..

• DEVELOP YOUR OWN MIXING PROTOCOL• EXPERIMENTS
