- The high-frequency excitation method was used during the vibration experiment. Five vibration mode shapes were obtained at different frequencies: the first mode shape (0, 1) at 3.0 kHz and 3.1 kHz, the second mode shape (1, 1) at 4.8 kHz and 4.1 kHz, the third mode shape (2, 1) at 6.5 kHz and 6.3 kHz, the fourth mode shape (0, 2) at 6.9 kHz and 7.1 kHz, and the fifth mode shape (3, 1) at 8.8 kHz and 9.1 kHz. The simulation and the experimental results of membrane surface displacements were close, but not identical, because of nonideal structural stability and material properties and the inaccuracy of the measuring equipment;
- It was found that the designed impeller was sufficient for the mixing process. The whole volume in the reactor was mixed. However, specific particle motions were not clearly captured during the experiment. When the mixing device was turned off, the particles did not move throughout the reactor volume, but in the case of the mixing process, the particles were distributed throughout the reactor volume. It was assumed that the mixing experiment was related to the simulation results;
- In the case where the liquid in the reactor was not stirred, the uniform temperature of 5 °C was not reached during the experiment. In addition, in some places, the temperature in the reactor was significantly lower, and cold zones with ice were formed. The temperature sensor recorded the lowest temperature of 7.7 °C. In the case where the liquid was stirred inside the reactor, the temperature ranged from 4.5 °C to 6.0 °C using an automatic temperature control system. Such temperature changes were acceptable.
