MixIT

Additional features

Intuitive GUI for data entry

Covers tank dimensions, bottom shapes, baffle details, internal components, material properties, and process parameters [1].

Industry standard bottom shapes

Options include conical, flat, elliptical, and tori-spherical [1].

Extensive impeller library

Includes standard impellers like pitched blade turbines, Rushton turbines, and anchor agitators, with the ability to import vendor-specific models and create custom impellers [2].

Flexibility in top-mounted impeller positioning

Users can specify X- and Y-offsets for any angle and location within the tank [2].

Flexibility in horizontal impeller positioning

Users can specify location along the tank circumference and angle [2].

Baffle selection and customization

Standard baffle types like flat, fin, and h-style are available, and users can change number, dimensions, and placement [3].

Sparger, coil, and dip tube creation

Users can define various internal elements with dimensions and parameters, including specifying multiple dip tubes [4].

Correlation-based analysis for various parameters

Power per unit volume, blend time, gas hold-up, mass and heat transfer, critical impeller speed, and more [5].

Custom correlation creation and sharing

Users can develop their own correlations and share them among themselves [5].

Fully automated 3D CFD analysis (steady state, single phase flow)

Analyzes flow patterns, velocity fields, shear rate distribution, and performs heat transfer and mixing simulations [6].

Multiple turbulence models for CFD

Laminar flow, standard k-epsilon model, k-ω model, and RSM model for various flow conditions [6].

Simulation monitoring plots

Track convergence, impeller torque, and species concentration during CFD simulations [6].

HTML reports with graphical and numeric data

Includes contours, vector plots, and animations to visualize mixing profiles [7].

Performance parameter calculations

Power number, power consumption, blend time, mixing intensity, and mass transfer coefficients [7].

Tagging reactors by site, scale, and name

Simplifies reactor organization and retrieval within MixIT [8].

Off-centered, angled, and multi-shaft agitator specification

Define and analyze complex agitator configurations [9].

Modeling Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

Supports various non-Newtonian models like Power Law, Cross Power Law, Bird-Carreau, and Hersche-Bulkley [10].

Flexible unit system with unit conversion capabilities

Input quantities in various units and switch between systems as needed [11].

Vortex shape prediction for specific top-mounted impellers

Predicts vortex shape and depth to aid in CFD analysis.
