SBIR Phase II: Powder-Powder Mixing and Powder-Liquid Mixing by a Novel High-Intensity Vibrational Mixer

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）二期项目将开发一种用于工业用途的高强度、低频共振声学混合器，重点是将固体粉末掺入液体中。由于没有混合叶片或运动部件，清洁和交叉污染的问题被最小化。这项工作将扩大对高强度共振声场中粉末-液体混合的科学认识，并为新兴纳米材料的混合提供一种替代方法。这项工作的结果将是更深入地了解粉末混合现象，并为设计和优化完整的工业混合系统提供知识基础。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will enable the development of a high intensity, low frequency resonant-acoustic mixer for industrial uses, focusing on the incorporation of solid powders into liquids. Since there are no mixing blades or moving parts, issues of clean up and cross-contamination are minimized. The work will expand the scientific understanding of powder-liquid mixing in a high intensity resonant acoustic field, and provide an alternative mixing approach for emerging nano-sized materials.Outcomes of the work will be a deeper understanding of the powder mixing phenomenon and a knowledge base for the design and optimization of complete industrial mixing systems.
