Learning unit contents
Presentation of mixing mechanisms and of their corresponding spatio-temporal scales.
Modelling of mixing in a vessel using macro-mising and micro-mixing theories (systemic models). Influence on (bio)reactor performances.
Description of mixing operations and of stiring techniques. Definition of global parameters (dissipated power, pumping number, ...) and of local parameters (fluid circulation, shear rate, flow regime, ...) relative to mechanically stirred systems. Presentation of experimental measuring techniques.
Presentation of a scale-up methodology from laboratory scale to industrial scale.
