2018 - English
Production of two immiscible liquid dispersions used in chemical or metallurgical industry is usually performed by a mixing process. The droplets of secondary liquid are predominantly dispersed by the shear flow forces to the primary liquid. It is well known, that the real droplet size distribution is limited by the physical properties of both liquids, the acting forces and residence time. This phenomenon is investigated experimentally or numerically simulated by several methods. In this study, the simplified mixing test case was studied. The single droplet dispergation was simulated using finite volume method and multiphase VOF (Volume-of-Fluid) model. The capability of the local remeshing method was investigated. The increase of calculation performance and the phases mass imbalance during automatic mesh refinement is summarized.

Influence of organic matter on the character of aggregates formed during coagulation/flocculation process in dringing water treatment
Filipenská, Monika; Pivokonská, Lenka; Vašatová, Petra; Pivokonský, Martin
2018 - Czech
Characteristics of aggregates (size, shape, density and porosity) affect separation efficiency. These characteristics come from properties of impurities (molecular weight and structure, charge density, affinity to water, etc.), coagulation parameters (pH, type and concentration of coagulants, etc.) and by physical conditions (shear rate and time of mixing). In this work, we describe relations between the size of aggregates and shear rate and moreover dependency on the characteristics of coagulated compounds. In order to understand dependency on compounds, flocs formed by kaolinite, Algal Organic Matter (AOM) and a mixture of the same were studied. There was found aggregates are bigger and more porous when AOM is present. The most striking result is that aggregates size changes in dependence on shear rate are not smooth in progress. A rapid change for the kaolinite-coagulant suspension and two rapid changes for the suspensions containing AOM were observed. These were attributed to various intermolecular interactions between floc components participating in coagulation at the different shear rate. Cílem práce bylo popsat vliv různých znečišťujících příměsí (kaolinitové částice, COM peptidy/proteiny a jejich směs) na velikost, velikostní distribuci, tvar a strukturu agregátů tvořených v proměnných hydrodynamických podmínkách (různá gradient rychlosti) v konečné fázi vývoje agregace, tzv. steady state. Jako míchací zařízení byl zvolen Taylor-Couettův reaktor, který umožňuje neinvazivní pozorování agregátů. Vlastnosti agregátů byly vyhodnocovány metodou obrazové analýzy. Bylo zjištěno, že velikost a tvar agregátů je závislá na typu koagulačního činidla, typu koagulované přímesi a aplikovaném gradientu rychlosti. Železité koagulační činidlo produkuje větší a méně pravidelné agregáty než činidlo hlinité. Podle příměsi roste velikost (zároveň klesá kompaktnost a roste neuspořádanost) agregátů v pořadí kaolinit < COM < kaolinit + COM. Bylo zjištěno, že velikost agregátů se na aplikovaném gradientu rychlosti nemění plynule, jak bylo doposud předpokládání, ale při překročení hodnoty tzv. kritických gradientů rychlosti, dochází k její prudké změně. Změny ve velikosti agregátů se liší v závislosti na charakteru koagulovaných příměsí a byly vysvětleny pomocí rozdílných interakcí mezi znečišťující příměsí a koagulačním činidlem.

Dispersion kinetics in mechanically agitated vessel
Bucciarelli, E.; Formánek, R.; Kysela, Bohuš; Fořt, I.; Šulc, R.
2018 - English
Agitation of two immiscible liquids or solid-liquid suspension is a frequent operation in chemical and metallurgical industries. Prediction of mean drop/particle size and drop/particle size distribution (DSD) is vital for emulsification, suspension polymerization, solid particle dispersion or crystallization. Simulation of particulate systems requires the knowledge of DSD and its time evolution. The time evolution of drop size distribution was investigated in baffled vessel mechanically agitated by a Rushton turbine and a high-shear tooth impeller. The system water –silicone oil was used as a model liquid. The volume fraction of the dispersed phase was 0.047 %. The drop sizes were determined by image analysis. The time evolution of the drops size dp32 was studied for both impellers tested. The model used involves the first order kinetics. Finally, the following correlations predicted by the Kolmogorov-Hinze theory were evaluated at steady state: dp32/D = C1.We-0.6 and dpmax/D = C2.We-0.6, where We is the impeller Weber number.

Measurement of drop size distribution time rate for liquid-liquid dispersion using IPI method
Jašíková, D.; Kotek, M.; Kysela, Bohuš; Šulc, R.; Kopecký, V.
2018 - English
The liquid-liquid dispersion properties are studied mainly by image analysis (IA) and Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI). Drop sizes will be investigated in dilute dispersion since in this case the break up phenomena is the dominating and is not affected by phase fraction. Characteristics of the size distribution and the evolution of two liquid-liquid phase’s disintegration were studied. The IPI method was used for subsequent detailed study of the disintegrated droplets. We compared two liquids: Rhodosil Oil 47V50, and Silicone Oil AP1000 under stirrer rate of 540 rpm, and 760 rpm. The experiment run in the scaled model of agitated tank with Rushton turbine.

Perception of water regime in connection to present and past human influence
Buchtele, Josef; Slámová, Romana; Chlumecký, M.
2018 - Czech
The variability of the water regime is ascertained as being influenced by the frequent natural evolutions in the span of decades and also by some abrupt changes in the recent periods, including the damages or grows of vegetation cover or human influence in the historical decades. Analysis of such natural or man-made impacts in the context of historical evolution could clarify uncertainties and oscillations in basin water regime. The events as changes in vegetation cover, resp. evapotranspiration, land-use changes, building of new reservoirs and disappearing the old ones, effect of water management changing the condition of the water supply should be evaluated taking into account the influencing of the natural water regime. The modeling of rainfall-runoff process could be used to identify such impacts, especially for the cases when the long term complex monitoring is missing. The difference between observed and simulated streams flow appears as the helpful tool for the assessments of the resulting water regime.

Modelling of non-monotonous course of shear viscosity
Filip, Petr
2018 - English
A number of parameters appearing in the 'classical' empirical constitutive equations usually oscillate between two and five. With the onset of new rheologically more complex materials exhibiting non-monotonous behaviour of flow curves this range (2-5) is no longer tenable and more additional parameters are required for a proper description of the flow curves. An 8-parameter model is presented and testified.

The role of solvents in the preparation of hydrophobic nanofibrous membrane containing fumed silica
Peer, Petra; Polášková, M.; Musilová, I.; Filip, Petr
2018 - English
It is well-known that a type of used fumed silica nanoparticles plays a dominant role in wettability of the corresponding nanofibrous mats. As a result, the desired contact angle can be approximately achieved by a choice of adequate fumed silica nanoparticles. However, less attention has been hitherto paid to an active role of solvents in connection with the tailoring this contact angle. For analysis we used poly(vinyl butyral) representing electrospun-friendly material, various types of fumed silica nanoparticles and two solvents - methanol and ethanol. It is demonstrated that a choice of polymer solvents plays a significant role in contact angle changes. Hence, in combination of the type of fumed silica nanoparticles and the type of solvent it is possible to achieve a finer partition of the required contact angles.
