Popis: | Horizontally sectioned liquid-phase reactors with a filling coefficient of 0.2-0.6 are finding wider use in the production of highly viscous polyesters and polyamides. The power of their electric motors fluctuates in the range of 2-70 kW. In this paper, in order to provide design and efficiency criteria for the electric motors and other components of the reactors, parameters are determined for calculating the power consumed during the mixing process. The fluids are considered highly viscous and Newtonian. Experimental data in support of the calculations are derived using a multicomponent xylitol solution that is close in rheological properties to polyethylene terephthalate. |
