A separate sheet holds all of the important impeller parameters
On-line glossary with hyperlinks for quickly finding what you need
Preinstalled graphs
One-button generation of a scaled reactor drawing. This handy little drawing is to scale. It can quickly alert you to
something that might be obviously wrong. The problem may be real, or
it may just be that the input was wrong. Red colored items warn you of
possible problems, such as missing data, or that the red item is outside the
range of typical situations. It also gives you a visual idea of how
high the fluid is relative to the upper impeller.
Convenient drop-down Input Windows (click on
pictures
for a better view). After pushing an input button, the
input window appears. Because of the enormous amount of information
required to properly analyze a mixing problem, the inputs are grouped and
organized like tabs in a filing cabinet.
Operational
Inputs. Fluid weight, volume, density, Newtonian or
non-Newtonian viscosity, gas hold-up model selector, and more are inputs
here. The buttons and check marks allow you to select your
inputs. The rest will be calculated for you.
Impeller Inputs: Specifies parameters for each individual
impeller on the shaft based on the uniqueness of its position.
These are not Np, Nq, etc, which are found on the Impeller Sheet.
Mixing Inputs: Specifies parameters dealing with the
mixing, such as degree of mixing, inlet pipe positions, IEF-factors,
etc.
Mass
Transfer Inputs: Specifies the parameters needed to solve mass
transfer calculations. Currently there is only a module for
gas-liquid mass transfer. If you use different equations than
those shown here, they can be easily swapped out. Other modules
for solid-liquid mass transfer, liquid-liquid mass transfer, and heat
transfer can be easily set-up.
Program Defaults: Want to find out quickly which reactor
in your plant/company will do the best for a particular process?
Set the defaults of your process and apply them to all of your
reactors. In an instant you can tell which reactor is going to
give you the best results by looking at the preinstalled graph
comparisons.
Tank Inputs: A place to lock and unlock access to your
inventory. You don't want anyone to make changes here, unless it
is to update the dimensions of the reactor. That can be necessary
after someone noticed an error in the data, or after a retrofit or
reactor modification took place.
Tank
Calibration: A nice and handy place for the experimental data that
determines your no-load power draw. The data here is used to
compare your measured power during a reaction and the calculated
impeller power from the program.
Case Study: This is your case study maintenance
center. So you have spent all this time doing
"what-ifs". This window allows you to save your data
without overwriting the original. By doing so, it also updates the
Reactor Selector, so that you can come back to this case study as often
as you wish.
