Abstract
The paper is focused on a theoretical analysis of the function of continuous flow mixer with the so-called gamma-distribution of fluid residence times, used as a linear filter smoothing undesirable fluctuations of input properties. A relation is derived expressing the degree of smoothing of the signal passing through the system, as a function of statistical parameters of this signal and of gamma-distribution of fluid-residence times in the mixer. The analysis of this relation leads to conclusions concerning the prediction of the operation of smoothing mixers or the design of their basic parameters.
