Abstract
Micro-computed tomography is a promising non-invasive imaging technology that offers high spatial resolution without requiring optical access. This opens the opportunity to analyze concentration fields in mixing equipment in 3D. To demonstrate the potential of the methodology, laminar mixing in helically coiled capillaries is investigated by tracking the radial distribution of potassium iodide along the main flow direction. Dean flow can be observed in the helically coiled capillaries, which intensifies with Reynolds number and decreasing effect of gravity.
