The effect of stator design on flowrate and velocity fields in a rotor-stator mixer—An experimental investigation
Rotor-stator mixers (RSMs) are available in different designs, e.g. with different number of stator slots and slot dimensions. However, the relationship between stator design and the RSM hydrodynamics is not well understood. Consequently, manufacturers still base design and stator screen recommendations on trial-and-error. This study reports experimental measurements of how the flowrate through th
