VIABILIZAÇÃO DO USO DE MANUFATURA ADITIVA NOS PROCESSOS DE AGITAÇÃO E MISTURA

Abstract

operações unitárias, através do estudo de impelidores de um agitador, impressos em impressora 3D, houve abordagens significativas que impulsionam o uso de manufatura aditiva em impelidores. Foi divido em projeto, impressão e testes do impelidores impressos, além de teste de resistência do material. As correntes formadas foram identificadas pelo software de rastreio Kinovea® e identificaram-se as correntes radial e axial para as pás retas, sendo estas minimizadas pela inserção de chicanas, e nos impelidores tipo âncora, foram identificadas a corrente tangencial nitidamente. O método se mostrou viável pela resistência do material e pela eficiente aplicação e identificação das correntes. Abstract. In Chemical Engineering one of the most working areas in the labor market are unit operations, within these the agitation and mixing. In this project, through the study of impelers of an agitator, printed on a 3D printer, there were significant approaches that drive the use of additive manufacturing in impelers. It has been divided into design, printing and testing of printed impelpers, as well as material strength testing. The formed currents were identified by the Kinovea screening software® and radial and axial currents were identified for the straight blades, which were minimized by the insertion of chicanes, and in the anchor-type impelers, the tangential current was clearly identified. The method proved to be viable by the resistance of the material and the efficient application and identification of currents.
