EXPERIMENTAL SETUP TO STUDY BIPHASIC MIXTURES.

In this paper is presented an experimental setup for the study of biphasic mixtures, adapted for measurements with PIV technique, suitable for the rotor induced flow study in a cylindrical tank used in industrial processes. The design of the setup considers specific aspects of laboratory experimental activities, allowing the visualization of hydrodynamic phenomena from within and being suitable for measurements with modern PIV techniques. Also, the setup is able to replicate as many types of flow. Finally, are presented streamlines and velocity fields induced by the rotor in the mixing tank. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
