The purpose researches Title of Proposal: Taylor-Couette Mixer for Injection for Solid Particles into a Chemical Reactor with tangential interface of admitting pipes. (REQUEST # ) Technical & Physical Approach : Originality and robustness of the engineering solution to the design of the Plasma Venture Ltd Chemical Reactor (Slides 8,25-28) with the purpose of thorough mixing of reacting components lie in the use of the Classical Taylor Vortex Effect (Fig.1, Ref.1). The Classical Taylor Vortices appear in case of certain value of Taylor numbers (Fig.2,Ref.2) in a system of coaxial cylinders one of which (the inner one) rotates with the steady velocity (range 100÷1000 rpm). At the same time recirculation vertical zones will be created in the gap between the inner cylinder and the exterior reactors wall along the full height of the reactor (Fig.1, 7,Slides 23,24) beginning at a lower chamber (Fig.6, Slide 51). Consequently two reacting components incoming to the lower recirculation cell will be thoroughly mixed. Optimization accounts will be done for a scale model of the reactor using CFD code FLUENT v.6.3. We are also going to use Eulerian Granular Multiphase Models and a standard turbulence model - with PolyHedral 3D pattern (Slide 8) of 17,142 cells (Slide 17,18) on basis of Cuthill-McKee Methods instead of initial Tetrahedral Mesh of 66,048 cells (Slides 13-15). Objects of optimization are geometry of the pipes admitting, orientation angle of each regarding the reactors pintle, cylinders diameters, inner cylinders speed of rotation and lower mixing cell dimensions. At the first stage we dont solve the problem of Conjugated Heat-Transfer of Solid Particles-Water-Walls system! This task (Eulerian Granular Multiphase Model with Heat Transfer) will be accomplished by our team at the second stage of the project for commercial variant of the Chemical Reactor ordered and approved by the customer. Our Mixing Propositions: Rapid Mixing Uniform Concentration Uniform Temperature Narrow Residence Time Distribution (PlugFlow) Independent Control of Mixing and Residence Time Simple Manufacturing Methods and Design Reliability. (Servicing will presumably be needed once per month).

( ), a Fluent businesswww.cavendishinstruments.com partner, is developing a general purpose plasma modeling environment that is fully coupled to FLUENT 6. The plasma components are derived from codes developed at Sheffield University to describe low and high pressure atomic and molecular gas discharges, which are used as radiation sources in general lighting or other more specialized applications. The governing equations used in these codes are of a fundamental and general nature, and when coupled to FLUENT 6, they create a powerful and novel 3D, time-dependent plasma modeling capability. Journal: Many satellites such as communication satellites, broadcasting satellites and meteorological satellites are in Earth orbits. These satellites have the duties to work normally in a tenuous charged particle environment. However, the charged particle environment happens to endanger to the performance of the spacecraft systems under certain conditions profoundly. Especially, low-energy plasma in the charged-particle environment causes spacecraft charging and is probable to induce ESD (electrostatic discharge) on the satellite. The ESD causes malfunctions or anomalies of the on-board electronics and/or the electric power systems, or degradation of the surface materials. These influences must be minimized to achieve high reliability and long mission lifetime of the spacecraft systems. Industrial experience: Analytical simulation of electron-beam induced charge-up phenomenon of insulating materials. Development of the on-board surface potential monitor and measurement of the surface potentials of insulating materials in space environment.
