Abstract: Liquid-solid mass and heat (by analogy) transfer at the bottom of a cylindrical stirred vessel were studied by using the well-known electrochemical technique. Variables studied included the impeller geometry and its rotational speed. Results revealed that the radial flow impeller is preferable over the axial flow one in terms of mass transfer enhancement, additionally, increasing the impeller rotational speed led to an increase in the mass transfer coefficient. Results were correlated by dimensionless equations. Application of these equations in the design and operation of an improved catalytic biochemical reactor suitable for conducting diffusion-controlled immobilized cell (or enzyme) reactions was highlighted. These equations can serve in predicting the corrosion rate and corrosion allowance required to calculate the bottom thickness of the agitated vessel in its design stage. Furthermore, these equations can be used in estimating the heat lost from the tank bottom, accordingly, design an effective cooling jacket surrounding the agitated vessel bottom in case of exothermic biochemical reactions to avoid thermal degradation of the biomass.

Abstract: In view of the importance in the national industry of PVC,the subject of the PVC polymerization stirred tank uses finite element analysis software (ANSYS) of the thermodynamic analysis,mainly for the temperature field analysis.By observing the displacement vector image and temperature,the heat transfer capacity is enough, and the heat transfer component selection is reasonable.
