Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
A Design of Experiments (DOE) analysis driven by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations was used to evaluate individual and two-factor interaction effects of varying select geometric and operational parameters on the hydrodynamics in dissolution apparatus 2 (paddle apparatus).
Methods
Simulations were run with meshing controls and solution strategies retained from a mesh-independent validated baseline model. Distance between vessel and impeller bottom surfaces, impeller offset, vessel radius and impeller rotation speed were considered as input parameters. The velocity magnitudes at four locations near the vessel bottom surface were considered as output parameters. Response surfaces and Pareto charts were generated to understand individual and two-factor interaction effects of input parameters on the output parameters.
Results
Impeller offset has a dominating influence of a linear and quadratic nature on the output parameters and affects overall hydrodynamics. Changes to other input parameters have limited influence on velocity magnitudes at locations closest to the vessel axis and on overall hydrodynamics. However, these parameters have important influences of varying degrees on velocity magnitudes at locations away from the vessel axis.
Conclusions
The hydrodynamics in Apparatus 2 is influenced differently by different parameters and their combinations. Impeller offset has a stronger influence when compared to parameters that do not alter apparatus symmetry.
