Area of Science:

  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Continuous emulsification is crucial for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Vortex-based hydrodynamic cavitation (VD) devices offer scalable emulsification.
  • Limited practical guidance exists for VD device design and scaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate VD device performance for continuous liquid-liquid emulsification.
  • Analyze the impact of outlet configuration, chamber geometry, and inlet number.
  • Evaluate scale-up and scale-out strategies for VD devices.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental investigation of vortex-based hydrodynamic cavitation devices.
  • Systematic variation of device parameters: outlet configuration, chamber geometry, number of inlets.
  • Performance evaluation across different flow rates and scales (scale-up and scale-out).

Main Results:

  • Vortex stabilizers and multi-inlet designs enhance cavitation activity and emulsification efficiency.
  • Geometrically similar scale-up (1-5 LPM) slightly increased droplet size and reduced energy efficiency.
  • Scale-out strategies showed limited impact on droplet size but affected energy effectiveness.
  • Multi-inlet designs reduced droplet size, particularly at low pressure drops.

Conclusions:

  • Practical guidelines for designing and deploying VD devices for continuous emulsification are provided.
  • Multi-inlet configurations are beneficial for enhancing emulsification efficiency.
  • Scale-up and scale-out strategies require careful consideration of energy efficiency.
