As in recent findings, separation and recombination type micromixers demonstrate their outstanding mixing efficiency in diverse flow scenarios. An accurate and stable platform, OpenFOAM V21 is used to perform the numerical investigations. We propose the four noteworthy SAR-based micromixers, which are designed by integrating the offsets and slots in selected micromixers. The first micromixer is without offset and slots, while the offsets are provided in the second, and slots are integrated into the third variant. The final design comprises both offset and slots by superimposing the above mentioned micromixers. We critically analyze the flow physics in these micromixers by detailing the concentration contours, streamlines, and velocity vectors. The results indicate that the inclusion of the offset promotes the twisting flow, while slots are responsible for stretching and folding phenomena. We found micromixer with offsets and slots provides the highest mixing index than the other proposed designs. Furthermore, it achieves 99.99% mixing efficiency across a wide range of Reynolds numbers, including low values (<span><math><mrow><mi>R</mi><mi>e</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>20</mn></mrow></math></span>), and we also provide data on pressure drop and mixing cost to facilitate optimal design selection.

These systems have been demonstrated to achieve significant energy and cost savings compared to conventional distillation columns. Consequently, from an economic standpoint, the feasibility of a process is not solely defined by achieving high-purity products. Instead, achieving a balance between product purity and cost requires a multi-objective optimization approach. While traditional optimization methods are effective, emerging strategies such as Bayesian optimization offer distinct advantages for handling complex systems without requiring explicit mathematical models. Bayesian optimization can effectively handle the optimization process even when starting from a single initial point. However, as a black-box method, it demands careful examination of the impact of hyperparameters on the optimization process. This study explores two Petlyuk distillation columns as case studies, introducing a bi-level strategy for hyperparameter selection, including the acquisition function, kernel type, and the number of initial points. Furthermore, the influence of uncertainty in the Bayesian optimization process is explored, as this factor is critical in addressing real-world challenges.

The filter intercepts almost 100 % of solid particles, achieving particle recycling and increasing solid concentration. The particle recovery concentration of the separator can reach more than 3 times the feeding concentration, enriching particle concentration more than 50 wt.%. The beneficial supergravity separation is promoted as the particle size increases, decreasing the particle axial diffusion along the separation zone. The mechanisms of slurry directional flow and solid-liquid separation in the CLSS are revealed through force analysis, which enhances particle retention and separation performance.
