Stirred tank reactors are widely used in the chemical industry and bioprocess engineering and, consequently, a large number of scientific publications deal with the characterization of those apparatuses. However, there is very little information about the flow conditions. This is mostly due to the fact that these apparatuses are generally made of stainless steel, which restricts optical access. Furthermore, three-dimensional flow field measurements are still not trivial and involve costly equipment, therefore, investigations often reduce to two-dimensional PIV measurements. Nevertheless, recent works (Rosseburg et al., 2018; Taghavi and Moghaddas, 2020; Kuschel et al., 2021) impressively show the formation of compartments which hinder and delay mixing. However, these measurements are based either on instantaneous concentration profiles by means of pLIF measurements or on a two-dimensional projection of the system and thus do not allow conclusions about the development of the three dimensional compartments and the exchange rates between the compartments. In this work, for the first time, instantaneous flow field measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution are performed in the entire volume of a 3L stirred tank reactor based on 4D particle tracking velocimetry. The highly resolved particle trajectories further allow detailed Lagrangian analysis of the mixing dynamics inside the reactor, data that was previously inaccessible.

Abstract X-ray particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) is performed, for the first time, to measure the velocity field inside a leading-edge of a turbine blade made by laser-additive-manufacturing (LAM) process. The traditional showerhead holes were replaced by a porous matrix in the leading-edge. The flow through such a leading-edge piece cannot be faithfully recreated by traditional prototype testing methods due to the surface roughness and imperfections caused by LAM process. Hence, direct measurement is the only option. However, it is difficult to measure flow inside such pieces with traditional velocimetry measurements due to the existence of metallic walls. Moreover, small internal size and high flow speeds call for a measurement technique with high spatial and temporal resolutions. To address these issues, we performed time-resolved X-ray PTV using the Advanced Photon Source (APS) synchrotron facility at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). A hydraulic system was constructed to run water, mixed with seeding particles, through the leading-edge piece. A high-speed camera captured the images of the seeding particles, which were later processed to create particle tracks. The time-averaged velocity field showed distinct pairs of vortices located in front of the porous outlet inside the leading-edge piece. The inlet channel showed reversed flow due to partial obstruction by the porous inlet of the test piece. Such knowledge of the flow field inside a leading-edge of a turbine blade will help us to design better cooling paths leading to higher cooling efficiency and increased life-span of a turbine blade.
