Calculation of the Process of Separation of Insoluble Fluid Systems

详细

In technology and practice, it is often necessary to separate liquid homogeneous mixtures consisting of two phases — solvent and solute. When the densities of the substances differ, gravitational, centrifugal or other type clarifiers can be used for the separation of phases. In the work done based on the example of a water + oil solution, a physico-mathematical model was formulated describing separation of liquid mixtures of this kind in a field of gravity (gravity settler) and in a centrifugal force field (in a liquid centrifuge). Based on the proposed mode of separation of solutions on the considered types of equipment, a numerical simulation is proposed to describe the process of separating the oil phase from the aqueous phase.
