Fluids/Solids Handling Optimize Mixing by Using the Proper Baffles It is common knowledge that baffles Kevin J. Myers, promote better flow in an agitated vessel, University of Dayton but how to apply them and what kind to Mark F. Reeder and use take some ingenuity. Julian B. Fasano, Chemineer, Inc. gitated vessels are used throughout the lustrates the effect of baffling on this. In the unbaf- chemical engineering industries (CEI) for fled vessel on the left, the swirling flow field is inef- Adiverse applications including storing, fective at dispersing the solids that are grouped in a blending and reacting materials. Agitator rotating pile below the pitched-blade impeller. Also, design requires specification of the motor, drive and a large surface vortex is visible at the top of the impeller system that will satisfy both process (1, 2, shaft. In the vessel on the right, the baffles are visi- 3) and mechanical (4) requirements. In addition, ble on the left and right sides of the vessel and as a most agitated vessels are baffled, and the design of thin gray strip that bisects the impeller and shaft. the baffle system must also economically satisfy The presence of baffles produces axial flow, in process objectives. which the discharge flow produced by the impeller impinges on the base of the vessel, flows radially to Why use baffling? t
