Dynamic analysis of rotationally reciprocating stirred tank with multiple impellers

Abstract

The study is devoted to dynamics of the rotationally reciprocating stirred tank with four-bar linkage actuator. The dynamic model is constructed by reduction of link masses and moments of inertia, as well as moments of driving forces and resistance forces to the reduction link, which is a crank. It is shown that the angular velocity of the crank is not constant, so a flywheel is installed to provide the required rotation regularity. The resulting mathematical model can be used in construction and design of the stirred tanks.
