Is it possible that shear-thinning fluid discharge tank without mixing?
Is it possible that shear-thinning fluid discharge tank without mixing?
(OP)
Dear Professional members:
I have a question about the shear-thinning fluid transfer by gravity.
This fluid is with viscosity around 26,000 cp at room temperature, but the viscosity decrease to around 2600 at 50C.
Is it possible to use the tote as discharge tank to transfer this by gravity flow into the reactor downstream ?
Since it is not possible to install the mixer in the tote, is any other way around to be use as a heating device for the totes, such as the electric spoon, or others ?
Thank you so much for your help.

Is there a reason you can't use a mixer in the tote? I think such an arrangement is very common.

You can answer the question by testing it yourself, or asking someone who has specific knowledge about this specific material (e.g. manufacturer, or supplier).
