AB - Mixing tanks are crucial in industries such as chemical processing and  biophar-maceutical production. This study uses CFD to model batch reactors  for solid-like suspensions with catalysts. Key findings include the optimal  operating conditions of 20 rpm and a mixture composition of 40%  dimethylamine, 59% heavy fuel oil No. 2, and 0.6% micro-spherical catalyst.  This configuration reduces costs by tenfold while significantly enhancing  product conversion rates.
