Title:
METHOD FOR EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF ATOMIZATION DEVICE, AND UPSCALING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/023608
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a comprehensive performance evaluation method that can be applied to rotor/stator mixers having various shapes and circulation systems. The performance of a rotor/stator mixer is evaluated by determining the total energy dissipation rate (εa) in the mixer, and evaluating the level of a mixer shape-dependent value that is inherent to each mixer and is obtained by measuring the dimensions of the rotor and stator and the motive force and flow rate during operation, all of which are associated with the total energy dissipation rate (εa).
