Structure and Mixing Process
The document describes a mixing process involving blue and white viscous resins in a 1:1 volumetric ratio. The blue resin is injected into a tube containing a Type SX static mixing element assembly. The mixing process is visualized through cross-sectional cuts showing the rapid increase of layers formed. The degree of mixing is quantified using the Coefficient of Variation (CoV), which is detailed in accompanying tables. The mixing follows a geometric pattern dictated by the eight mixing bars within each element, suitable for high viscosity liquid-liquid mixing and polymer fluid processes.
Flow Types and Reynolds Numbers
